Social Prescribing

Social prescribing is a way for healthcare professionals—such as doctors, nurses, or link workers—to refer people to non-medical community services that can improve their health and wellbeing.
This might include things like exercise classes, volunteering, social groups, art or music activities, gardening, or support with housing, debt, or loneliness.

This short survey aims to find out what people know about social prescribing, what they think about it, and whether they would be interested in trying it.
