The rising tide of chronic disease and conditions, a growing elderly population, combined with massive hospital budget blowouts are a fact of life for all Australians. These and other forces will continue to affect our healthcare system for the foreseeable future.

What can we do to help ease this? No one solution can work in isolation.

The only sustainable answer is for ALL of us to work together, put aside our differences and open our minds to what is known to work “for the patient” which in turn works for the system.

We need to put together an Integrated Health Care system where patients are treated as individuals not a mere collection of symptoms, where we acknowledge that body, mind and spirit interact and that what effects one affects all three.

“Integrated Health Care promotes health and wellbeing by bringing together the best in conventional and complementary medicine to achieve balance in all the factors that contribute to maintaining or improving optimal health”.

Reiki has an important and vital role in this.

More importantly we need to give more respect to and empower patients, so that they can play a central role in their own health care.
