There are increasing concerns regarding the financial state of the National Health Service (NHS) and achieving financial efficiency is paramount (NHS England, 2017a). General Practitioners (GPs) are often seen as the gatekeepers of secondary care referrals and as a result, many patients arrive at the GPs surgery with issues that cannot be remedied with a standard pharmaceutical prescription (Gerada, 2011). Secondary care is the term in healthcare whereby patients are referred to specialist treatment from health professionals by health professionals within primary care (NHS England, 2017b). These issues are often linked to social factors such as isolation, housing, and financial issues (Healthy London Partnership, 2019). GPs make referrals based on symptoms exhibited by patients and the effects of social issues are not always apparent which results in the unseen issues left untreated (Hernandez and Blazer, 2006; General practice (GP) Health Careers, 2020). This issue is then exacerbated by the 10 minute time constraint that GPs have to see patients, which is not sufficient to delve into a patient's complex needs (Oxtoby, 2010). Evidence examining Social Prescribing (SP) identified that 77% of patients enjoy better wellbeing, a 33% reduction in GP attendances and 50% fewer Emergency Department (ED) visits (Healthy Dialogues, 2018). Furthermore, SP alleviates immediate time, infrastructural and monetary pressures, which include hospitals experiencing issues such as high number of ED reattendances, high numbers of discharge delays as a result of non-medical issues, high 8 numbers of non-elective readmissions and high numbers of ED users who have chronic long term conditions or low to moderate mental health issues (Torjesen, 2016; Healthy Dialogues, 2018).
