from Integrative Oncology Talk Hosted by Santosh Rao
A conversation about the emerging field of Supportive Oncology with one of the pioneers: The focus of this podcast will be on the intersection integrative oncology and supportive care .The reality: many centres, ours included are seeing integrative oncology/integrative medicine as part of supportive care . As Dr Berman and colleagues lead the way in the UK with the UKASCC and BSIO ( British Society for Integrative oncology) it is of interest to explore these developments and how we build supportive oncology services that seamlessly include integrative medicine and its principles as part of the offerings. Dr Berman is founder and director of supportive care UK Ltd and supportive and palliative care physician at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester. He specialises in the prevention and management of the adverse effects of cancer and cancer treatments, including care for those reaching the last days of their lives. He is also NHS England’s National Clinical Lead for Enhanced Supportive Care – this is a new initiative being rolled out across England, to improve access to supportive care for patients going through cancer treatment at any stage.
