The world’s largest Social Prescribing event is shaping a fast-growing global market.
Social prescribing is redefining health with a holistic, person-centered approach, connecting individuals to community-based support that nurtures wellbeing beyond traditional care. This international summit brings together leaders, healthcare practitioners, community organizations, and policymakers to explore how social prescribing improves health outcomes, strengthens communities, and addresses the social determinants of health.
Social Prescribing is a holistic approach connecting people to non-clinical community services—“prescribing a life, not just medicine.” Types of social prescribing include: 🌱 Green – Nature-based activities for mental & physical wellbeing (e.g., community gardening, nature walks, forest bathing). 🌊 Blue – Water-based activities for health benefits (e.g., wild swimming, coastal walks, river mindfulness). 🎨 Arts & Culture – Creative engagement to support emotional health (e.g., art classes, music therapy, theatre, museum visits). 🧘 Physical Activity – Tailored movement and exercise (e.g., walking groups, yoga, swimming, dance). 🤝 Social & Community – Reducing isolation through connections (e.g., friendship clubs, volunteering, peer support). 🧠 Mental Health & Wellbeing – Non-clinical mental health support (e.g., mindfulness, meditation, resilience workshops). 💼 Work & Skills – Building confidence, skills, and purpose (e.g., job clubs, mentoring, skills workshops). 🏘️ Practical Support – Assistance with daily challenges affecting health (e.g., housing, debt advice, food banks).
