Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council, GB promotes social prescribing through Thriving Communities
Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council, GB Thriving Communities
The council's Social Prescribing Innovation Partnership works with local doctors to prescribe non-medical remedies when possible. Project partners like Age UK and Action Together help practitioners identify health issues ideal for community intervention. Patients receive prescriptions for art, sports, and outdoor activities that ease stress and anxiety. The overarching Thriving Communities Programme also funds projects that reduce social isolation through the Social Action Fund.
