The Prince's Foundation for Integrated Health
"The Prince's Foundation for Integrated Health is a UK charity championing an integrated approach to health.
"The Foundation works towards a culture of health and wellbeing with people and communities taking more responsibility for their own health, and where health professionals collaborate and share learning in the best interests of their patients.
"Integrated health means an approach to health which:
- "emphasises prevention and self-care
- "looks at the person in the round, taking into account the effects on health of lifestyle, environment and emotional wellbeing
- "brings together the safest and most effective aspects of mainstream medical science and complementary healthcare."
