There is growing evidence that connecting with nature makes us healthier and happier.
An exciting project is underway in Scotland to find out more.
GPs at 5 practices in Edinburgh are now able to prescribe nature to patients as part of their treatment, thanks to an innovative project designed by RSPB Scotland in collaboration with the NHS Lothian charity partner, the Edinburgh and Lothians Health Foundation.
Nature Prescriptions started in Shetland in 2017 as a partnership between RSPB Scotland and NHS Shetland and was successfully rolled out to all 10 GP practices across Shetland in 2018.
The new Edinburgh pilot aims to investigate whether Nature Prescriptions can be
delivered in a similar way in an urban environment and to explore the
potential for extending it throughout Scotland.
