Social prescribing is a mechanism for linking patients with non-medical sources of support within the community. It provides health care professionals with a non-medical referral option that can operate alongside existing treatments to improve health and wellbeing and enable a more holistic approach. It recognises the importance of psychosocial, environmental and economic factors in health and wellbeing and health inequalities.
