Abstract

As the UK's leading holistic cancer charity, Penny Brohn Cancer Care (formerly the Bristol Cancer Help Centre) has pioneered the Bristol Approach to care for cancer patients and those close to them. This approach to cancer care works alongside mainstream cancer treatment, providing a combination of physical, emotional, and spiritual support, using complementary therapies and self-help techniques including practical advice on nutrition. Interventions on offer include group sessions, meditation and healing, relaxation and imagery techniques, counselling and psychotherapy, nutritional advice, touch therapies, creative therapies, gentle exercises, and integrative medical sessions. This chapter discusses the results of qualitative research on the Bristol Approach and describes education for healthcare professionals and complementary therapists.
