GPs Boost Social Prescribing Care Nationwide

Royal Australian College of GPs

GPs across Australia are embracing social prescribing to improve health outcomes and help patients enhance their self-care.

It comes ahead of GPs, including Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) social prescribing spokesperson Dr Kuljit Singh, attending an International Social Prescribing Conference in Brisbane from 25–27 November. Social prescribing involves health professionals, including GPs, supporting patients to take up non-medical activities to supplement other types of care and treatment, such as joining a community group or trying a new hobby or exercise.
