About Integrative Medicine
This Wellbeing service is designed to help you understand the full picture of your health and to explore a range of tools to activate wellbeing and resilience.
We’re focused on finding the right lifestyle and holistic approaches for you that complement any conventional care you’re receiving.
We offer long one-to-one appointments with a qualified medical doctor or pharmacist, without feeling rushed. You’ll be able to discuss in detail your current health concerns, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, medical history, lifestyle and medication. Together with the clinician you’ll create a personalised plan for wellness.
Our Integrative Medicine clinicians all have wide-ranging experience; whilst they each have areas of specialism, they are also experienced in general medicine. They can offer support to manage existing symptoms, as well as a safe space to talk through, or answer questions about, conventional treatments. Our team can also talk to you about prevention and how to stay well.
Please note: the Integrative Doctor or Pharmacist will not diagnose any conditions, prescribe conventional medicine or perform any clinical investigations e.g. blood tests. As it’s not a diagnostic service, our clinicians might not be able to understand or explain all of your healthcare concerns. However, they will endeavour to help you devise a plan of action for self-care and suggest steps you can take through the conventional healthcare route.
Whilst there is an opportunity to talk through conventional treatments and discuss your decision-making, our Integrative Medicine Doctors / Pharmacist can’t offer a second opinion or direct any conventional care. For specialist medical support, you will be advised to speak to your GP or Primary Care team.
All our medical doctors are licensed with the General Medical Council (GMC), and NCIM’s clinical services are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Who is it for?
You want to treat your health as a priority.
