Paper abstract bibtex The report 'Good practice in social prescribing for mental health: The role of nature-based interventions', published today on gov.uk, sets out the benefits of social prescribing for mental health, wellbeing and the NHS budget. Social prescribing is the mechanism which provides GPs with non-medical referral options, such as nature-based interventions alongside existing treatments to improve health and wellbeing - potentially at much less cost to the NHS. Simon Stevens, CEO of the NHS, identified social prescribing in his Five Year Forward View of NHS England, as one key way in which the NHS can change from “a ‘factory’ model of care and repair” to one that focuses on much wider individual and community engagement. In order to understand more about social prescribing and how effectively it is working in the natural environment sector, Natural England commissioned Mind, the UK’s leading mental health charity and researchers at Care Farming UK, to undertake a comprehensive review of current practice. The benefits from social prescribing identified in the study include: Better outcomes for health and social care. Improvements in mental health and wellbeing of patients. Cost-effective use of NHS resources. More effective use of GP time. The report concludes that a 'successful' social prescribing service depends on good partnerships. The key challenges and barriers to engaging GPs with social prescribing include: The need for a more consistent or standardised referral mechanism for social prescription services. The need for a funding mechanism that enables service provision to both grow and be sustainable. To develop quality assurance requirements for service-providers, so GPs have greater confidence in the quality of the services. To work with GPs, and health and social care commissioners, to improve their awareness of the nature-based interventions being offered in their local area and the health benefits these could bring.
