For Healthcare Professionals
We continue to set the standard in complementary cancer care and have the support of leading oncologists, healthcare professionals and complementary therapists. Penny Brohn UK, formerly Bristol Cancer Help Centre, has been in existence for over 35 years and has provided invaluable support and care to many thousands of people. The charity’s team of therapists has had many years of experience of working with people with cancer and is drawn from medical, nursing, psychotherapy and varied complementary backgrounds. They are all members of their appropriate professional body and keep updated with developments in the field of complementary care.
“The Bristol Whole Life Approach represents the gold standard in complementary care in cancer” - Karol Sikora, Vice-President, Professor of Cancer Medicine, Imperial College, Hammersmith Hospital, London.
Although the work of the charity has developed over the years, the essence of the work remains constant – supporting people to learn how to help themselves and transform the crisis of cancer into an opportunity to enhance their quality of life.
