Prescribing Fruit and Veg – A New Model for the NHS?
GP Dr Chi-Chi Ekhator shows Sheila Dillon how healthcare - with fresh fruit and veg - is being brought out into the heart of communities in south east London.
A pilot public health scheme in south east London is prescribing fresh fruit & veg to people with chronic disease and mental health conditions. Sheila Dillon meets Dr Chi-Chi Ekhator, an NHS GP and lead at the A.T Beacon Project, to hear how the prescriptions are working, and how it’s a part of their mission to bring healthcare out of GP surgeries and into the heart of Lambeth’s most hard-to-reach communities.
Presented by Sheila Dillon and produced by Sophie Anton for Ö÷²¥´óÐã Audio in Bristol
