What is Social Prescribing
What is Social Prescribing?
It is fairly new to health care and has become an important part, supporting people with health care needs, guiding them to local services in their local area.
Social Prescribers are based in GP Surgeries, so ask at reception, how to book an appointment.
Here is a really useful video describing what and how Social Prescribers could help you. Click here to watch the video.
Social prescribing is available in countries worldwide, with programs established or developing in North America (Canada, USA), Europe (UK, Ireland, Spain, Netherlands, Germany, Finland, Portugal, Denmark, Norway, Poland), Asia (China, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia), Oceania (Australia, New Zealand), and Africa (Nigeria)
