“Many patients now want to be offered the choice of conventional or complementary treatment or a combination of both, where safe and effective. Many are already integrating their own care. It makes sense therefore that doctors and nurse can learn about IM at Post Graduate Diploma level as a means of better meeting the needs of individual patients whilst also creating a more sustainable health service focusing on self-help, personal health and community health. The Prince's Foundation for Integrated Health welcomes this important advance and warmly congratulates the Integrated Health Trust and the University of Buckingham on this pioneering initiative.”
“This is a remarkable and ambitious initiative aiming to bring IM into routine use throughout healthcare in Britain. It urgently requires a focus for training, teaching and research that this project envisages.”
“For me, leaving the familiar safety net of conventional medicine in order to undertake this training in IM is not so much a choice as it is a necessity. I feel that I would be denying myself the potential to grow as a doctor and as a person, along with failing my future patients. I believe that modern medicine's perceived priorities are misguided. I now find myself determined to take the time to learn the new skills needed to become a better doctor.”
“I firmly believe that it is vital to integrate
all potential aspects in healing systems
and that health can only be considered in
the context of deeper meaning in life. This
course appears to be the framework to
practically achieve this.”
