About this listen

CALHN Research Pulse Podcast | Season 3 episode 4 |

Has your doctor ever given you a ‘nature prescription’?

It’s a written instruction to spend time in nature, and can create benefits such as improved mental health.

But perhaps there's more to the story.

In this episode of Research Pulse, we learn about a new study looking at nature-induced health benefits linked with your immune system.

We speak to Dr Jessica Stanhope, Chief Medical Scientist in the Rheumatology Unit at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (TQEH). Jessica is investigating access to green spaces and experiences of pain and arthritis in people living in the suburbs of Adelaide.
