Speakers for this years’ AGM are:
Dr Edward Thompson
Dr Edward Thompson is both a medical doctor and a herbalist. He is one of our very own, being a member of the URHP. He is a seasoned speaker who thoroughly engages his audience with his eloquent and very articulate style of communication. He makes it easy to understand many of the complexities of integrated health and medicine and it is a great pleasure to have him as our key speaker for this years’ main lecture.
The talk is entitled: ‘An Integrated Approach to Mental Health’. Edward will include the following subjects:
- Western medical diagnosis and approach to mental health including a particular focus on depression, anxiety and stress.
- A pharmaceutical approach in terms of understanding as well as discussing drug and herb interactions.
- An integrated herbal approach which will use an understanding of traditional, energetic and modern scientific paradigms of herbal medicine.
- Diet, lifestyle, and psychological therapies.
- Western Red flag symptoms and when to refer.
- Interplay between herbal medicine and other CAM therapies in managing mental health conditions.
URHP members
URHP members will be speaking in turns to give us more insights into their own practices. It will be interesting to see and hear how some of our members use their own skills, knowledge and specialities to practice in their own particular way using herbal medicine and anything else that encompasses natural healing.
