Dr Piper attends a six-day intensive Medical Education Course provided by the Institute of Functional Medicine

Private General Practice Leicester, is pleased to announce that Dr Julia Piper has recently completed a six-day intensive Medical Education Course provided by the Institute of Functional Medicine.

The IFM is the leading medical body for functional medicine and provides training courses to practising doctors.

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine is a personalized approach for patients, dealing with the primary prevention and underlying causes of chronic disease. It is a science-based field of health care.

Says Dr Julia Piper,

"This was one of the most valuable medical education courses I have taken in the last 10 years. I found the course to be highly relevant to my clinical practice, particularly in dealing with the chronic diseases which we face on a daily basis in primary health care. By weeks end, I have learned a thoughtful approach that takes into account the complexity of factors which influence health and disease in modern times, and learned a systematic method to address these issues"

Integrated Therapies

Whilst much is known about the importance of traditional medicine and the evidence for its continued use, far less is known about alternative medicine and integrated therapies. 25 years ago, they were considered unorthodox, but today they are very much more accepted and openly practised. Research shows that 90% of us use them in one form or another, and we know that when correctly and safely administered by open-minded and trained professionals, how beneficial they can be for body, mind and spirit.
