INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE AT THE POUNDBURY CLINIC

The Poundbury Clinic provides a pioneering integrated approach to women's health. We offer conventional medicine with complementary and alternative therapies and encourage women to choose the most appropriate therapy.

This programme is directed by a consultant gynaecologist with a special interest in female health.

The Poundbury Clinic makes use of the most appropriately trained and qualified practitioners who
work as a team to offer you the highest quality and choice of healthcare.

We encourage excellent lines of communication with your practitioners and provide an
Integrated Healthcare Card to support this.

In the future it is hoped that this programme of treatment will be offered on the NHS

"At The Poundbury Clinic
we believe that your medical practitioner is like the conductor of an orchestra, assessing your condition
then drawing in all of the appropriate instruments to work together in harmony for the health of your body and mind."
