About this proposalThis proposal is to extend an existing project for a year from September 2015. The project has developed working partnerships between: academics in different disciplines; charities, CICs and small businesses in nature conservation and interpretation; and the health system, particularly GP surgeries. The work has been concentrated in Cornwall. The aim has been to bring these different groups together so that they can learn what each has to offer, to answer questions about knowledge gaps, and to design and pilot new collaborative schemes. Project partners are all interested in the idea that referrals to, or prescriptions for, regular engagement with nature can help reduce chronic health conditions, improve wellbeing, and reduce costs to the health service. The nature prescription activities have been co-ordinated under the overarching banner of 'Dose of Nature'.The project has been running for 18 months, and has proved very popular. This proposal is to allow the current project to grow and to deliver some larger impacts that the original project did not foresee.What are the potential gains?Patients and organisations that have been involved in the pilots to date have identified gains in terms of personal health and wellbeing, reduced visits to the GP, and less drug use. We now need to know: the environmental gains and impacts of such work; how the cost savings be translated into income for nature management work; and how many jobs can be safeguarded or created through nature prescription?What's been achieved in the first 18 months?Six Dose of Nature projects have been designed, co-delivered, and are receiving referrals from primary care. They are collecting standardised data in changes in wellbeing. Blogs, articles, presentations and talks have raised publicity. Academic papers have been commissioned and submitted. Detailed research questions have been refined. Local, regional and national stakeholders have been engaged and potential additional work identified.What next?To realise this potential the following activities will be delivered (see Work Plan):- Build a new research programme. A proposal to PenCLAHRC, the south west region's partnership between the NHS and the region's universities to look at improving patient outcomes, has already been accepted. A proposal to the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) has been shortlisted and accepted for development. An application to the Eden Project Collaboration Fund has been submitted. This proposal will allow all of these activities to be taken forewards. In addition the project will be involved in the imminent call for proposals to the Valuing Nature Programme (VNP - a multidisciplinary initiative), and this extension will ensure project integration. A paper to be submitted to The Lancet is in early draft.- Making a bigger impact. By summer 2016 we will have the data, research and a wide enough practitioner network to run the UK's first 'Nature Prescription Summit'. The aim will be to bring Defra, the RSPB, the Eden Project, NIHR, DoH, VNP, King's Fund, researchers and knowledge exchange specialists together with our practitioner network, to report on progress and plan for the future. We also want to carry out new Environmental Impacts and Health Economics Projects, launch a Commissioning Guide, and present our work to Defra's health and wellbeing project.- Expand the network. We have identified new nature prescription partnerships in Exeter and Torbay (Devon Wildlife Trust), Weymouth (RSPB) and Bristol (Avon Wildlife Trust and a series of community gardens) to repeat the current project model in urban contexts. In addition we will run two new groups in Cornwall that will be funded from the health budget, a vital next step. We also want to expand the network via a webinar alongside the Ecosystems Knowledge Network, and by engaging with the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare Fellows.

关于这个提案这个提案是从2015年9月起将现有项目延长一年。该项目已在不同学科的学者、自然保护和解释方面的慈善机构、公民社会和小企业以及卫生系统，特别是全科医生手术之间建立了工作伙伴关系。这项工作集中在康沃尔。其目的是将这些不同的群体聚集在一起，使他们能够了解每个群体的贡献，回答有关知识差距的问题，并设计和试行新的合作计划。项目合作伙伴都感兴趣的想法，转介，或处方，定期与自然接触可以帮助减少慢性健康状况，改善福祉，并降低成本的卫生服务。“大自然处方”活动以“大自然的剂量”为主题，已推行了18个月，深受市民欢迎。这个建议是为了让当前的项目发展，并产生一些原始项目没有预见到的更大影响。潜在的收益是什么？迄今为止，参与试点的患者和组织已经确定了个人健康和福祉方面的收益，减少了对全科医生的访问，减少了药物使用。我们现在需要知道：这些工作的环境收益和影响;节省的成本如何转化为自然管理工作的收入;以及通过自然处方可以保障或创造多少就业机会？前18个月取得了哪些成果？已经设计、共同实施了六个“大自然”项目，并正在接受初级保健机构的转诊。他们正在收集幸福变化的标准化数据。博客、文章、演讲和谈话提高了公众的关注度。学术论文已经委托并提交。详细的研究问题已经得到完善。地方、区域和国家利益攸关方已经参与进来，并确定了潜在的额外工作。为了实现这一潜力，将开展以下活动（见工作计划）：一项向PenCLAHRC提出的建议已经被接受，PenCLAHRC是西南地区NHS和该地区大学之间的伙伴关系，旨在改善患者的治疗效果。向国家卫生研究所提出的一项建议已列入短名单，并已被接受。已向伊甸园项目合作基金提出申请。这项建议将使所有这些活动得以推进。此外，该项目还将参与即将向“重视自然方案”（VNP -一项多学科倡议）征集提案的工作，这一延期将确保项目的整合。一份提交给《柳叶刀》的论文正在初稿中。产生更大的影响。到2016年夏天，我们将拥有足够的数据、研究和广泛的从业者网络，以举办英国首届“自然处方峰会”。目的是将Defra，RSPB，伊甸园项目，NIHR，DoH，VNP，King's Fund，研究人员和知识交流专家与我们的从业者网络聚集在一起，报告进展情况并计划未来。我们还希望开展新的环境影响和健康经济学项目，推出调试指南，并向Defra的健康和福利项目展示我们的工作。扩大网络。我们已经在埃克塞特和托尔拜（德文郡野生动物信托基金）、韦茅斯（皇家鸟类保护协会）和布里斯托（雅芳野生动物信托基金和一系列社区花园）确定了新的自然处方合作伙伴关系，以在城市环境中重复当前的项目模式。此外，我们将在康沃尔开办两个新的团体，这些团体将由卫生预算资助，这是至关重要的下一步。我们还希望通过与生态系统知识网络一起举办网络研讨会以及与可持续医疗保健研究员中心合作来扩大该网络。
