Social prescribing
Definition
From:
NHS England (global definition)
A means for trusted individuals in clinical and community settings to identify that a person has nonmedical, health-related social needs, and to subsequently connect them to non-clinical support and services within the community by co-producing a social prescription: a non-medical prescription to improve health and wellbeing, and to strengthen community connections.
