Overview

The National Centre for Integrative Medicine (NCIM) is a not-for-profit social enterprise with a vision to support the transformation of healthcare to a broader Integrative Medicine (IM) model that combines conventional, lifestyle and holistic approaches to improve health and wellbeing, for clinicians, clients, and communities.

NCIM has four pillars of delivery:

• Wellbeing: Consultations and courses with our Integrative Clinical team, online and in-person
• Education: IM qualifications and CPD for healthcare professionals
• Community: Creating social impact through funded workshops and low-cost appointments
• Membership: Transforming healthcare together through our Society for Integrative Healthcare

Our wellbeing and community services support access to a wide range of integrative healthcare approaches with a multidisciplinary Integrative Clinical team. Fundraising activities and partnerships with like-minded charities means we can offer low-cost and freeto-access courses (dependent on funding available).

Education is also a key part of NCIM’s mission to create change. As an accredited teaching centre, we deliver a range of education programmes for healthcare professionals, including a two-year master’s Level 7 Diploma in Integrative Healthcare and Foundation and Advanced Training in Medical Homeopathy.

In 2023, NCIM started working in strategic partnership with the Health and Wellbeing Trust (HWT), a charity that is passionate about widening access to Integrative Healthcare and shares many of NCIM’s values. Together, we are fundraising and working with partnership organisations to activate the eLearning platform which offers a range of accredited Integrative Healthcare courses, with the aim of being the go-to platform for healthcare professionals and interested members of the public who want access to affordable, highquality, accredited courses with experts in their field.
