“Wellness is generally used to mean a healthy balance of the mind, body and spirit that results in the overall feeling of well-being."
The NHS Directory of Complementary and Alternative Practitioners is managed by the NHS Trusts Association.
With growing demand for alternative therapy and the growing number of NHS practices now prepared to offer many forms of alternative therapy as part of their primary care health improvement programmes.
“Though the availability of complementary therapy via the NHS is now beginning to make headlines in the newspapers, it does not necessarily mean that all doctors are willing to prescribe complementary medicine, at the end of the day the decision to prescribe is still a matter for clinical judgement of your GP, and even if they are willing, not all Primary Care Trusts presently have funding provisions dedicated to complementary medicine. In some cases, this is simply a question of lack of resources and, in other cases, it is a question of an unwillingness on the part of the Primary Care Trust to provide complementary therapy.
Any member of the public who is encountering difficulties in obtaining complementary therapy via the NHS and who would like to bring this problem to the notice of their Primary Care Trust, should write to the Patient Advice and Liaison Co-ordinator (PAL) at the Primary Care Trust.
The role of PAL is a new one. The PALs have been created to act as an interface between the public and the boards of the Primary Care Trusts responsible for healthcare in their area. If enough members of the public write on the subject, this will help the Boards of the Trusts become more aware of the true level of demand and may lead to funding being made available where hitherto it was not.
It would also be appropriate for members of the public to write to the lay member of their local Primary Care Trust. The lay member is an ordinary member of the public, whose purpose is to represent the local population. Information on your local Primary Care Trust is available via your GP. Many Trusts also have websites. “
