GPs are invited to an online roundtable on Monday, 10 July at 7.30pm exploring their awareness and support for using social prescribing to refer patients to arts activities. Participants will receive a certificate for CPD hours.
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 is the focus of this Flinders University and University of Adelaide project.
Participation will involve answering questions during a one-hour online (Zoom) 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.
