Note: The Integrated Therapies Training Unit (ITTU) continuously strives to provide current, evidence-based educational events to equip Integrative Therapists and Health Care Professionals with relevant skills and knowledge to apply in their roles.

Although many of the courses discuss ways of adapting practice when providing therapies to patients with a cancer diagnosis, we maintain that the aims of our educational events are to increase understanding of cancer and the delivery of suitable complementary therapies for therapeutic purposes in this patient cohort. Therapies are to be offered alongside medical treatment as a means to enhance physical and psychological wellbeing, and never as a treatment for the underlying cancer.
