This morning conference is hosted by the ESTA health and Wellbeing Group and is for health professionals from both steams to compare, contrast and come up with a working plan of action for the next twelve months. We will spend the morning co-creating an audit of the strengths and weaknesses of holistic knowledge and practice and conventional allopathic practice, with a view to assessing the relative strengths and merits of both systems. The purpose of this exercise is to better coordinate and develop more meaningful strategic working relationships and practices. This is within the context that we are all working towards the shared goal of encouraging more people to take more responsibility for their own health and wellbeing, with the message to “Help Yourself to Health”.
