So much to think about today

🥳Today is Social Prescribing Day 🥳For over 30 years I've been championing creative, innovative interventions for patients. Not every problem that I see as a GP can simply be solved with medicine alone. People need social connection, creativity, activity, community - not just a prescription (1/2)
