We would be very interested to hear your thoughts about the role of social prescribing in supporting people taking multiple medications.
- Social prescribing is an approach that connects people to activities, groups, and services in their community to meet the practical, social and emotional needs that affect their health and wellbeing.
- Social prescribers are starting to work within GP teams to direct people to some of these activities.
