Medicine & the Mind-Brain-Body Connection
- a GP Education Series
​One of our key aims at Living Proof is to raise awareness of the neuroplastic (or mind-body) approach to health and recovery from chronic symptoms. An important part of this is supporting healthcare providers to learn more about this approach - and how they might incorporate it into their care for patients.​
​
In Summer 2024, we launched our first accredited course for healthcare professionals: 'Medicine & the Mind-Brain-Body Connection'. This online course provides a comprehensive introduction to the science behind mind-body symptoms - and the neuroplastic approach to recovery. Check out this 3-minute preview video for a taste of what the course involves.
"Comprehensive, informed,
& brings so much together.​ Quite the best I have
come across."​

"This is an immensely valuable course. I would definitely recommend this course to help GPs and health professionals understand their patients better and enable them to offer informed advice
and guidance to their patients.
A great resource!"

Dr Anna Smith, GP, Oxford
"The content and presentation are both excellent, and the course has really furthered my understanding of this complex and fascinating area
of healthcare."

Dr Thomas Jones
GP, Greater Manchester
​"This course was a very useful, practical introduction and explanation of mind-body medicine for a busy GP. I especially liked the example of actual words that can be used to explain the concept to patients. I can see how this would be helpful for those patients where traditional medicine approaches
have not worked."​​
