GP Roundtable: Social Prescribing

Posted Friday 15 November 2024 | Flinders University

GPs are invited to an online roundtable exploring their awareness and support for using social prescribing to refer Australian patients to arts activities. 

Social prescribing is the referral of patients to non-medical interventions, programs, and services in the community. While arts engagement is only one referral option for social prescribing, it has demonstrated especially striking outcomes and will be the focus of this project.

Participation in this study involves answering questions during a 1-hour online roundtable with other GPs. You will be asked questions about your awareness of social prescribing, any past experience with social prescribing, and potential needs or barriers to implementing social prescribing. 

Participants will receive a certificate for CPD hours.
