This study presents the evaluation of a pilot yoga intervention, Yoga4Health, that was developed for the NHS to be socially prescribed to patients at risk of developing specific health conditions (risk factors for cardiovascular disease, pre-diabetes, anxiety/depression or experiencing social isolation). The aim of this qualitative study was to explore service users’ experiences of Yoga4Health and the acceptability of the programme.” (taken from the abstract)

  • Measuring outcomes for individuals receiving support through social prescribing
  • Whether any medium- to long-term outcomes are reported for social prescribing and, if so, what they are
  • The evidence suggests that social prescribing can have a positive impact on a very wide range of outcomes, including decreases in loneliness, improvements in mental health, in social connections and in overall wellbeing
  • There is less evidence on the medium-long term impact of social prescribing, and research in this area is required
