Social prescribing and NHS facilities: how could the NHS better use its facilities to support social prescribing, holistic care and community resilience?

The King's Fund -
The NHS Long Term Plan has pledged to refer at least 900,000 people to social prescribing by 2023/24 to help improve people’s wellbeing; the fitter, healthier and more socially connected people are, the less likely it is they’ll need to access local GP or other health professionals. This research, based on a survey conducted with over 2,000 people in England, shows that there's also a strong appetite from the public for these services. The research was commissioned by NHS Property Services.
