Blue Prescribing Project
The Blue Prescribing Project is a wetland health programme specifically designed, in consultation with participants, to promote a range of mental and physical health benefits through facilitated wetland nature engagement.
The project is similar to the growing health practice of social prescribing, which enables health care professionals to refer people to local, non-clinical services to improve health and wellbeing and make better use of community resources.
Social prescribing is a key component of the NHS’s Universal Personalised Care, an approach that moves away from asking ‘what is the matter with you?’ but towards ‘what matters to you?'
