Rochelle Burgess and social prescribing

The Spark

Available for over a year

Dr Rochelle Burgess, Associate Professor in Global Health at University College London, tells Helen Lewis why she argues 'social prescribing' needs a radical rethink. She sets out why she thinks the current approach, which focuses on relationships, could and should be expanded to take in more societal considerations. And why she thinks this could bring much more significant benefits than are currently achievable. Producer: Phil Tinline
