Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Health systems around the Western world are under increasing pressure to provide an effective service in the face of rising consumer demand, escalating costs for high-tech interventions and an ageing population. It is therefore judicious to look at ways in which we can continue to enhance the quality of life for all global inhabitants whilst diminishing the strain on the system. For both the carer and patient, this requires an adjustment in their interface, with an expanding educational component and an awakening of the Inner Healer of the patient. Inevitably this will call for a change in the emphasis during training both for orthodox and complementary practitioners and a deeper understanding of the six senses to access right brain awareness where the Inner Healer happily, but unhealthily, slumbers. Ultimately, the goal is to create a health service which truly serves the patient/client and the carer offering both to a greater state of total well-being.
