The College of Medicine was founded in 2010 to reform healthcare so that it works for everyone in a way that’s inclusive, progressive and compassionate. We want to redefine medicine beyond pills and procedures, to reconnect practitioners with patients, people with their environment and use both conventional and non-conventional approaches to health. The College is a ‘coming together’ of some of the brightest minds in the UK including NHS pioneers, scientists, CAM professionals, students and members of the public.
OUR VISION
Enabling a healthier society, focusing more on what matters to individuals, families and communities, using evidence-informed and community-empowering approaches – we call this personal medicine.
Reconnecting people to families, neighbourhoods, communities and nature.
Creating partnerships with state, private, voluntary and faith sectors, to improve health outcomes, reduce inequalities and support people to live healthier lives.
OUR VALUES
Honesty: We are honest and upfront in everything we do. What you see is what you get.
Inclusivity: The College is open to all for sharing ideas and we believe in the power of many for positive change: we welcome debate for the collective cause.
Collaboration: We encourage trust and respect between people, partners and institutions.
Compassion: We believe in kindness and compassion for all; it remains at the core of our aims and endeavours.
Commitment: We’ll give everything we can to achieve our vision of better healthcare.
Sustainability: We work responsibly, supporting long-term social, environmental and financial resilience.
