BMC Health Serv Res. 2024 Oct 24;24(1):1280. doi: 10.1186/s12913-024-11603-x.

Abstract

Social prescribing has become a global phenomenon. A Delphi study was recently conducted with 48 social prescribing experts from 26 countries to establish global agreement on the definition of social prescribing. We reflect on the use and utility of the outputs of this work, and where we go from here.

Keywords: Commentary, Global definition, Social prescribing.
