Integrated health: the best of all healthcare for the whole person

Welcome to The Prince's Foundation for Integrated Health ePolitix website, providing up-to-date information for MPs, peers and their researchers.

The Prince's Foundation for Integrated Health is a charity championing an integrated approach to health.

The Foundation works towards a culture of health and wellbeing with people and communities taking more responsibility for their own health, and where health professionals collaborate and share learning in the best interests of their patients.

Integrated health means an approach to health which:

• looks at the person in the round, taking into account the effects on health of lifestyle, environment and emotional wellbeing
• brings together the safest and most effective aspects of mainstream medical science and complementary healthcare
• emphasises prevention and self-care

The Foundation seeks to inspire, engage and support health practitioners to work together to provide the widest possible patient choice. We also work with health policy makers to help create a health service where the best of all healthcare is the norm.

We have an exciting programme of activity which will take the integrated health message out to wider audiences and help bring about positive change in the health of the nation. One of our principle work programmes relates to addressing the increasing burden of chronic conditions on the nation's health.
