BHMA JOURNAL
  The
Journal of Holistic Healthcare is a UK-based quarterly journal
focusing on evidence-based practice and the practical implications
of research in holistic health and social care. Its target audience
is the full range of healthcare practitioners, CAM practitioners,
health service providers, policy-makers, commissioners and researchers
in the field. Themes will include new theories of the person,
whole person care in the NHS, patient participation in their own
healing, inter-professional care and education, integration of
CAM into mainstream medicine, health worker well-being, promoting
and sustaining good health, deprivation and environmental decay,
and recognising diversity and creativity in healthcare delivery,
organisational and management issues. The journal includes detailed
case examples of successful holistic practice and services, research
findings and methodologies, evidence of effective practice, and
commentaries on policy and service developments in the field.
Our aim is to establish a high-quality source of information and
good practice examples for anyone interested in holistic health,
including policy-makers, practitioners and lay people. Our intention
is to link theory to practice. The journal is intended to be accessible
and readable as well as challenging. Key articles will link theory
and research to practice and policy development. Contributions
from a variety of disciplines are welcome.
