Social prescribing (also known as community referral) is a process through which a person is referred to non-medical, community-based resources or activities, typically involving nature, art, movement, and service. In the UK, a Social Prescribing Link Worker may engage with a patient to support them with a plan which can be a series of signposting or referrals to support in the community, in order to improve their health and wellbeing.
