About the event

Join us for the very first Integrative Healthcare Festival, a pioneering event hosted by NCIM in collaboration with Weleda UK. This is more than a conference—it’s a movement towards a broader, more sustainable model of healthcare that places prevention, lifestyle, and whole-person care at its heart.

As a healthcare professional, you are invited to explore how integrative and personalised medicine is reshaping the future of health. From traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and naturopathy to herbal medicine, homeopathy, and biodynamic farming, this event will immerse you in the principles and practices that are supporting physical, mental and emotional wellbeing in a new, evidence-informed way.

Why Attend?

  • Be Inspired: Renowned broadcaster and health advocate Julia Bradbury will open the day, sharing her personal journey of healing through nature connection after cancer.
  • Expand Your Knowledge: Learn about the power of arnica and its applications in homeopathy, as well as the wider role of herbal medicine in the NHS and beyond.
  • Hands-On Learning: Engage in interactive workshops and garden tours at Weleda’s beautiful biodynamic site. Discover how arnica is grown, harvested and prepared, and explore the rhythms of nature that support our health.
  • Connect and Collaborate: The day includes a nourishing lunch and networking opportunities, giving you space to share insights and build connections with like-minded practitioners and professionals.

Who Should Attend?

This festival is ideal for:

  • Doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals
  • Complementary therapists
  • NHS leaders and policy makers
  • Medical and nursing students and trainees

 

 

A New Way Forward

We are in a time of transformation—where supporting the health service means embracing innovation, integration, and ancient wisdom. Be part of the growing tribe leading the change toward a more compassionate, nature-connected, and patient-centred approach to medicine.

Spaces are limited—reserve your place today and be part of shaping the future of healthcare.
