Complementary Therapies Conference
Overall aim
The complementary therapy conference aspires to contribute to a better understanding of the demand for therapies and their effects on patient-centred outcomes among service users, commissioners and practitioners. The day is focused upon therapies as an adjunct to conventional forms of treatment. It is hoped that outcomes will help to inform both the provision of integrated services and the future research agenda for complementary therapies.
