• This systematic review aims to investigate the evidence in applying a co-design, co-productive approach to develop social prescribing interventions. 
• Two themes emerged among the eight observational studies identified. Three of the studies examined a co-produced and co-designed approach to the development of a social prescribing intervention to improve well-being within a community setting. These studies considered the dynamics and characteristics of the collaboration between service providers and service users and their communities. The remaining studies (n = 5) analysed the community outcomes and perspectives of a social prescribing intervention that applied a co-produced or co-designed approach to improve the community’s well-being.
