'Social prescribing' works for both patients and charities involved, report says | Third Sector: "The service works by allowing GPs to refer patients to voluntary and community sector advisers, who then examine the patient’s non-medical support needs and refer them to appropriate services, which could include physical activities such as tai chi or community gardening projects.
The scheme includes a grant funding pot through which voluntary sector activities are commissioned to meet patients’ needs. "
