What Does a Prescription Licence Mean?

A social prescription allows the prescriber to prescribe BALM through issuing social discount vouchers that invite the patient to be part of The Sourdough Club and learn BALM  – to Bake as a Lifestyle Medicine.

Eligibility of patients

Level 1

The Level 1 Social Prescription Membership is heavily discounted, with a registration fee of £9.99 and monthly tuition fees of £1.99. As a healthcare provider, you are licenced to offer up to 12 of these memberships per year as part of your licence. To qualify for the highest discount level, a patient should receive any form of social assistance or benefits in the UK, including those qualifying for free prescriptions.

Level 2

To qualify for Level 2 Social Discounted membership then, patients may be offered the Level 2 Socially Discounted Membership. Priced at £49.99 for registration and £4.99 per month for tuition fees, this membership can be an affordable way for patients to further their journey with bread and health.

We believe that bread can be a powerful physical and mental health tool. By prescribing our memberships, you’re not just offering patients access to our resources but also empowering them to take an active role in their health and well-being. Together, we can make a difference—one loaf at a time.

Please feel free to share this guide with your patients and colleagues, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
