The Wildlife Trusts – July 2023
Improving the uptake of nature-based health and wellbeing prescribing could alleviate pressure on the NHS and save more than half a billion pounds a year.
That is according to a new report from the Institute of Occupational Medicine Health which found that, if just one of The Wildlife Trusts’ programmes was adopted by the 1.2 million people who would be expected to participate, the NHS could save approximately £635.6m annually.
The schemes in questions are a suite of initiatives that connect people with the community and look to harness the health benefits associated with being more in touch with nature.
