'Scotland requires changes in prescribing practices'
A Glasgow-based researcher is looking to reduce pharmaceutical pollution in Scotland through ‘blue-green prescriptions’ in a bid to help people struggling with their mental health.
“But its use has negative effects on the climate and the environment. It also contributes to antimicrobial resistance which is one of the major global health problems of the 21 st century.” “With blue-green prescribing, people who have common mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression could be prescribed with and have opportunities to access community-based blue space activities such as kayaking, swimming, or even surfing through social prescribing programmes.
Julze who also works as a senior parliamentary intern on One Health and Planetary Health at the House of Lords, developed policy recommendations on how to implement environmentally sustainable pharmaceutical prescribing in Scotland which includes building the capabilities of healthcare providers to practise blue-green prescribing.
He continued: “Two years ago, Glasgow hosted the monumental COP 26 where over 50 countries pledged to make their healthcare system climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable including the UK.
