🌳 What if the best prescription didn’t come from a pharmacy, but from nature?

Time spent in green spaces improves heart health, reduces blood pressure, and even lowers all-cause mortality. So why aren’t we prescribing it more often?

⭐ With the launch of the brand new, FREE, Red Whale course on Green Social Prescribing, developed by GPs in collaboration with Natural England, Intelligent Health, NHS England, Bristol, North Somerset & South Gloucestershire ICB, and National Academy for Social Prescribing, GPs and healthcare professionals now have the tools to confidently integrate nature into patient care. ⭐

This Social Prescribing Day, it’s time to rethink how we approach health. Because sometimes, the best medicine is a walk in the park. 🍃

🌳 🚶‍♀️ Our team has been putting our mission into action!

We've launched our company wide Beat the Street Challenge, where our employees—no matter where they are in the world from the UK to the Netherlands, Iran and more —are getting outdoors, walking, wheeling, and cycling to earn points. With four teams and a spirit of healthy competition, we’re energising for a vibrant winter season.

As the days get shorter, we know it can be harder to get outside. That’s why we’re embracing this friendly challenge to keep us moving, taking breaks, and boosting our wellbeing.

Have a look at some of the beautiful sights our team has enjoyed along the way!

The House of Lords’ Food, Diet and Obesity Committee has published its report, ‘Recipe for health: a plan to fix our broken food system’. We’re proud that Intelligent Health’s response was referenced three times!

Key points from our response:
❗️Obesity is influenced by social inequalities, environmental factors, and systemic failures.
❗️Access to affordable healthy food is crucial.
❗️Policy changes are needed for disadvantaged communities.
❗️We must shift focus from blaming individuals to addressing root causes.
❗️Ultra-processed foods and inadequate labelling contribute to obesity.

Good morning & happy Monday! 😊

Our colleagues Jenny Cottrell and Theo Bird have been doing some exciting work.

They represented Intelligent Health at the during the Paralympics in Paris this September. They attended along with other English organisations Inclusive Volunteering and Planet Earth Games selected by Sport England for their innovative approach to helping people get active.

The summit’s mission centred around more sports and physical activity, for everyone at every level. The mission runs until the LA 2028 Olympic Games. In Paris, decision-makers, innovators, implementers and experts came together to understand how to make an impact in the coming years.

Theo said: “A huge thank you to Sportinnovator for organising an excellent event. It was great to meet so many people and spend time with the team from Sport England. We hope to continue sharing ideas and best practice to increase participation in sport and physical activity across Europe.”

Jenny and Theo shared information on the national work delivered with Sport England and places using Beat the Street as a transformational tool to improve population health and place at scale. They shared how Beat the Street has a game at its heart that enables adults and children to connect to where they live through walking, wheeling, and cycling and empowers them to make changes to their daily behaviour.

They shared how – for partners - It provides both insight into a community and evidence of a population shift in behaviours and attitudes. Crucially, it supports work already happening in a place by connecting people to assets (green spaces, town centres and active travel infrastructure) and organisations and activities in a fun, engaging way.
