When we think about prescribing, it’s often in relation to medication. However, the magic of social prescribing is unfolding, and it’s providing connection and purpose for older Australians. This week we again welcome Kathryn Ewen from Dovida and introduce Carly Thomson, a pharmacist involved in social prescribing.
During this episode, Coral, Kathryn and Carly explore how social prescribing is transforming lives beyond the consulting room. Their conversation dives into the benefits of face-to-face connection. It’s a heart warming and informative episode that reminds us that sometimes the most meaningful prescription isn’t medication. It comes with a conversation, a listening ear, and a feeling of belonging.
