Social prescribing is ‘a means of enabling GPs, nurses and other primary care professionals to refer people to a range of local, non-clinical services’1 to achieve better outcomes for their physical and mental health and general wellbeing. In its simplest form, social prescribing is a way of getting people in touch with non-medical community support that can help improve physical and mental health, reducing pressure on health systems. The concept takes a view that health and wellbeing support goes beyond the traditional doctor/patient relationship and recognises that a person’s health is determined, and can be supported, by wider aspects of individuals’ lives and their communities.
