Our recently published evidence report highlights the impact of social prescribing on health service use & costs.
Social prescribing directly improves people’s health, strengthens communities & offers value for money.
To read the report, click the link: ow.ly/Urqb50UbQsa
ALT "Social prescribing is not only good for patients but it’s good for the health system too. Because it helps people to stay healthier for longer, it can mean people visit their GPs less often and are less likely to be admitted to hospital. We know our health system needs to move from treatment to prevention, so we’re calling for the NHS to be bold and expand social prescribing so that every patient who needs it is able to access it as part of their treatment and care."
