本文介绍了英国西米德兰兹郡中型城市沃尔索尔的绿色社会处方 (GSP) 案例研究。 GSP 是一种使卫生专业人员能够向人们推荐一系列当地非临床自然活动的手段，例如社区园艺和保护志愿服务。作为应对健康和可持续发展多重挑战的新实践，普惠制在过去几年得到了英国政府和NHS的大力推广。关于如何在地方层面实施这种方法的证据和知识仍然有限。本文通过探讨沃尔索尔如何实施普惠制作为案例研究，解决了这一知识空白。基于与当地合作伙伴广泛参与和研究活动收集的数据，本文揭示了普惠制的当地背景、转介途径和人们的生活经验，讨论了在地方层面实施普惠制的挑战、障碍和机遇。这项研究表明，更加协作和真正的基于地方的方法至关重要，除了普惠制之外，还需要对基础设施进行投资，以将健康范式进一步从“预防”转向“促进”，以便更多的人能够从大自然提供的东西中受益。
This paper presents a case study of Green Social Prescribing (GSP) in Walsall, a medium-sized urban area located in the West Midlands, UK. GSP is a means of enabling health professionals to refer people to a range of local non-clinical nature-based activities, e.g., community gardening and conservation volunteering. As a new practice to address multiple challenges in health and sustainability, GSP has been promoted by the UK government and the NHS in the past few years. There is as yet limited evidence and knowledge about how this approach is implemented at a local level. This paper addresses this gap of knowledge, by exploring how GSP is implemented in Walsall as a case study. Based on extensive engagement and research activities with the local partners to collect data, this paper reveals the local contexts of GSP, the referral pathways, and people’s lived experience, discussing the challenges, barriers, and opportunities in delivering GSP at the local level. This study suggests that a more collaborative and genuine place-based approach is essential, and alongside GSP, investment into infrastructure is needed to move the health paradigm further from ‘prevention’ to ‘promotion’ so that more people can benefit from what nature can offer.
