We learn that when our attention is caught up in the past or in the future, we can get stuck in unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling and acting. Mindfulness helps us recognise these automatic reactions and understand them as part of normal human experience. This can allow kindness to replace self-criticism, as we would offer to others but rarely do for ourselves.

One of the challenges of whole-person care is how to work across the multi-professional team, and within an Integrative Medicine Model the team gets even more diverse, with doctors, hypnotherapists, herbalists, psychologists, physiotherapists - we could go on! It is also exciting to work across these disciplines, and to learn from each other, and in this IHF we will focus our lens onto multi-professional team working within Integrative Oncology. Join us and meet our range of international speakers, some with great experience of setting up teams and centres and others just beginning their journey.
