Health
2000
our vision of complementary therapies and mainstream medicine
 Health
2000 was started In November
1997 when an Open Day was held in Elmfield health group to promote
the use of Complementary
Therapies in General Practice. There were public talks given by the Doctors
and Therapists, more personal demonstrations and taster sessions,
plus some group workshops.
Elmfield health group remains at the core of health 2000 and is
an innovative NHS GP practice, that emphasises the connections
between the mind and body and brings a holistic approach to health
in the NHS.
The
practice has taken the time and energy to build up good professional
relationships with various complementary
therapists and
to become familiar with how they work.
Health 2000 was formed to provide
information and promote networking between Doctors, Complementary
Therapists, clients and the general public. It holds regular
talks and events on different therapies both for the general
public and mainstream health professionals
Our aim
is to show that the two systems can complement each other in a
truly holistic approach to health and we can choose to use the best
of
both.
Health 2000 is working
towards establishing an Institute of Complementary Medicine based
in Newcastle. This will act as a focal point for
the provision of holistic health care, the training of Doctors in
Complementary Therapies and as a general source of information and
education for the public, Therapists and Doctors.
We welcome any feedback,
comments, contributions and suggestions and we are particularly
keen to hear from anyone who feels they have really benefited
from their journey into self-healing
through Complementary Therapies.
