Abstract
This article provides general practice nurses (GPNs) with a brief history of asset-based community development
(ABCD). It considers how the principles of asset-based approaches are currently used and may be further developed
to tackle modern challenges in health and social care. It considers one particular approach, ‘social prescribing’ —
this is perhaps best known to GPNs. Social prescribing has emerged as an early asset-based solution to improve
wellbeing. The article also explores some of the advantages and limitations of social prescribing and gives glimpses
as to how asset-based nursing may evolve.
