Reading Well Books on Prescription

How the scheme can help

Studies show self-help reading can help you manage your health conditions.

Although books can sometimes work on their own, research has shown that self-help approaches work best when you also have support from a health professional.

You may also use the self-help books independently as a first step in seeking help.

​What if the book doesn't help you?

If you find that the book you're reading isn't helping, you should contact your GP or health professional for further advice.
