STOP PRESS Please visit our CIC www.guildofprofessionalhealers.org.uk to support our charities work by purchasing an item from our online shop.All surplus profits benefit the work of our charity. Since 2006 our charity has funded 18 healers who have worked with cancer patients and their families in the NHS and other health related areas.The need to raise awareness and funds is increasing as more projects are waiting to come on line. To view a DVD of our charities work see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVYsoi3PT2U Past and Current ProjectsWe have funded healers at University College London Hospital,Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge,Princess Alexandra's in Epping,Kent & Canterbury Hospital and our new project in Hertfordshire begins in September. Endorsement from University College London HospitalTreating the whole person, not only their cancer is central to the way services will be provided in the UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre when it opens in April 2012 . This will be very welcome news to Angie Buxton-King who, as complementary therapy team manager, can be largely credited for introducing the current provision of complementary therapies available to cancer patients at the Rosenheim and UCH. "Angie's behind the scenes work - attracting funding, setting up tools to measure patient satisfaction and developing policies so that therapists work to the same, consistently high standards - has laid the foundations for complementary therapy to become fully integrated into cancer care" said Martin Lerner, divisional manger for cancer services. "Our long term aim is to offer complementary services as part of the care pathway for all cancer patients who would like to receive them." Patients consistently give good feedback but to demonstrate how complementary therapies can benefit cancer patients, Angie worked with the haematology nursing research team to design a clinical trial to examine the effects of Reiki on patient quality of life. This groundbreaking randomised controlled trial will attempt to recruit more than 100 patients over the next two years. Angie and husband Graham leave UCLH with a lasting legacy. In 2006 they created ‘The Sam Buxton Sunflower Healing Trust' charity in memory of Angie's son Sam. The Trust has donated over £100k towards the UCLH complementary therapy team and funds five other projects at cancer centres in the UK. Through their Trust, Angie and Graham will continue to be strong advocates for integrating complementary therapies into healthcare. How can my hospital apply for funding ?Complementary therapy (CT) is increasingly demanded and expected by patients undergoing cancer treatments. An increasing amount of research clearly demonstrates that CT is important to support patients through conventional treatment. University College London Hospital is currently carrying out a RCT trial evaluating the effects of Reiki for patients undergoing conventional chemotherapy protocols. SBSHT is committed to providing funds to NHS hospitals and cancer centers to engage the services of a Reiki practitioner or Healer for cancer patients. What do we need from the recruiting center? a) We need to be contacted by the hospital or centre in question b) We will visit the centre to see how and where the therapist will be working with patients c) We will donate funds into any suitable NHS or related fund. d) The therapist will be given an NHS fixed term contract or an honorary contract e) The therapist will be required to wear a SBSHT polo shirt and provide us with quarterly reports Call us on 01502 578196 or email info@cancertherapies.org.uk to find our more .
