Green Prescription

A Green Prescription (GRx) is a health professionals written advice to a patient to be physically active as part of their overall health management.

"Your GP or practice nurse may decide a GRx would be good for you if: your health is stable, you are not regularly active and you are ready to make a few lifestyle changes."

Toni Hoskin—Green Prescription Manager

Once you have a GRx, Karen Griffiths or Jo Ward from the GRx Team will contact you. Over a period of 3 – 4 months your GRx support person will talk with you about your food /activity goals (what you want to achieve) and look at ways to help you achieve those goals.

So if you want to lose weight, feel more energetic or would just like some help to become more active visit your GP or Practice nurse and see if a GRx is for you!

The Green Prescription Program is FREE!
