TESTIMONIALS
Participants from our programme describe feeling very well equipped for their future journey in this field, with the programme offering an amazing balance of resources and information.
GP and Medical Acupuncture practitioner
"It provided very valuable insight into the running of an integrative and functional clinic. This allowed me the opportunity to reflect on where I am and where I wish to take my business"
Hospital doctor, AFMCP graduate
"Gained valuable insights from practitioners based on their clinical experience not just research"
GP, AFMCP graduate
"A very practical, focused and pragmatic programme which has been thoughtfully developed. I particularly liked the fact that it was 'live' and it allowed for interaction between the course coordinators and participants"
Orthopaedic Surgeon
"For me, it is a solid introduction to starting on my professional journey into functional medicine. Rather than navigate it myself with so many choices and possible courses, it gives me a trusted introduction to what is useful and has medical credibility and integrity."
GP, AFMCP graduate
"The knowledge into the practical application of functional medicine with patients, from investigations available, to supplement use was invaluable. I found the information on business set up and management really informative as having always worked in the NHS this is something I've not had to ever think about before."
Emergency & Critical Care Consultant, IFMCP certified doctor
"The program is really well structured to cover the fundamentals of starting a functional medicine practice. The breath and depth of the topics were pitched perfectly.
The self discovery profile at the beginning of the course really gave me an insight into my own strengths and weaknesses and how to utilise these to develop a practice that naturally suits my own style and way of working."
Emergency & Critical Care Consultant, IFMCP certified doctor
"This programme has been invaluable in terms of helping me to see my way forward in functional medicine and giving me the confidence to explore this. Like many clinicians, the jump from my usual speciality to functional medicine felt daunting prior to this course. Through this course, Dr Sally and Nathalie have provided me with a supported and stepwise structure to establish my practice. I highly recommend this course to anymore wanting to explore a future in functional medicine.
