What does ‘meaningful medicine’ mean?

‘Meaningful medicine’ acknowledges that, when it comes to health, one size does not fit all, and one doctor may not have all the answers.

It’s a genuine patient-centred approach to health that is effective and targeted, and takes into account your complex, personal needs.

Your environment, relationships, work, diet, pressures and social connectedness all have an effect upon your health. ‘Meaningful medicine’ takes all these factors into account.
