The British Association for Holistic Medicine & Health Care (BHMA formerly British Holistic Medical Association) is a membership charity which aims to promote holistic practice. Our vision is for a more person-centred, sustainable and compassionate approach to healthcare and health creation. We have spent 40 years promoting inspiring and powerful examples from the frontiers of holistic healthcare practice via journal articles, conferences, networking events and student essay competitions . With an unprecedented epidemic of chronic lifestyle diseases, and mental and environmental health challenges, holism is needed now more than ever as we strive to ensure modern healthcare works for Practitioner, Patient & Planet.
