Résumé
Nature prescribing involves a health professional recommending time in nature so as to benefit health. This article provides guidance for the implementation of nature prescribing in general practice. Reviews of evidence show that nature prescribing may improve physical activity, systolic blood pressure, social connection and mental wellbeing. Primary care clinicians can recommend nature-based activities in 'green spaces' (walking or running in parks, bushwalks, animal care or gardening) or 'blue spaces' (walking by water, surfing or sailing).
