Green Prescription (GRx) is New Zealand's highly successful exercise referral programme. Doctors and Practice Nurses write a GRx for inactive patients to access support with increasing their physical activity levels for health and wellness benefits.
The programme involves an initial face-to-face consultation with GRx co-ordinator followed by regular visits and continued support.
