HOLISTIC MEDICINE: INTEGRATION OF CONVENTIONAL AND COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE DR TIM ROBINSON
GENERAL MEDICAL PRACTITIONER: HOLISTIC PRACTITIONER
I am a retired NHS General Practitioner, formerly practicing in Beaminster, Dorset over 30 years. Whilst working in everyday General Practice I found that my patients showed an increasing interest in complementary medicine. There is a preference for a natural, "whole person" approach to health care. There is also growing concern about drug side effects.
As a General Practitioner I was also aware of some limitations of conventional medicine in the treatment of various conditions. It was most rewarding to be able to complement my conventional practice with a holistic approach to successfully treat many of these conditions.
Since 2000 I have been practicing complementary medicine in the Glencairn House, Sherborne. I combine a blend of disciplines to provide holistic health care in this private clinic. I have a special interest in the treatment and management of ME / chronic fatigue syndrome.
