Fishing can now be prescribed by the NHS to treat anxiety. Expect to see anxiety levels among fish going upπŸ˜‚ Seriously though I can see the benefits of sitting quietly near a river and I work have a colleague who goes fishing on her days off to release the pressures of work (in a hospital- the irony is not lost). I think I’ll stick with my yoga and meditation but it is good to see the NHS is open to things other than medication.

I think that all social prescribing is great Alb2, but although I'd like a prescription for lolling around by a river, like you, I'll pass on the fishing..... 🀣.
