About Green Prescription (GRx)

GET ACTIVE

A Green Prescription, a scrip with a difference.

It can be obtained from your GP, nurse, or community health worker, or you can self-refer online. GRx prescribes a personalised physical activity programme to improve your health and well-being.

​​​​​​​What is Green Prescription?
