As the pressure on the healthcare system reaches a new
high, The Future of Medicine conference is set to spark some
timely and important conversations among
practitioners.
Signalling a shift toward prevention
medicine and lifestyle as treatment in the Aotearoa
healthcare system, the Future of Medicine conference will
take place at the B:HIVE in Auckland November
18-19.
Led by training provider PREKURE, the two-day
conference is the first of its kind in Aotearoa and is set
to challenge the status-quo in medicine. Eighteen
world-leading medical researchers and practitioners will
inspire change through interactive sessions, discussions,
and presentations.
One speaker is PREKURE co-founder,
author, and AUT Public Health Professor Grant Schofield, who
says the event was inspired by a global trend towards a
newer more effective medical system.
“In a time
where our healthcare system is stretched, workers are burnt
out and waitlists are growing, we have an opportunity to
challenge the norm, shift the narrative, and aspire towards
a progressive, thriving, future of medicine in
Aotearoa.
“At PREKURE we are on a mission to
contribute to expanding the human health span by bringing
what we know from scientific evidence and overseas practice
into tangible impact.”
Featured speakers include
Professor Julia Rucklidge, the world leader
in improving mental health through micronutrition,
Neurologist Dr Matthew Phillips, whose
world leading research shows the potential of fasting and
other dietary approaches to reverse Alzheimers, Parkinsons
and even slow Huntington’s disease, and Registered
Nutritionist Julianne Taylor, who is on the
research edge of showing how diet can relieve autoimmune
disease.
The conference coincides with the PREKURE
Spring graduation ceremony, which will recognise the latest
intake of certified health and mental health
coaches.
A recent report from PREKURE’s Diabetes
programme found that when using a combination of
carbohydrate diet restriction and health coaching, it is
possible to prevent, and in some cases reverse Type 2
Diabetes – with all participants during the 12 week
programme noting an improvement in HBA1c results, and 50%
noting a clinically significant improvement.
Featured
speaker GP Dr William Ferguson says, “I’m really excited
about the Future of Medicine, and the role that Health
Coaches can bring to general practice.
We want to
ignite a conversation that will provide hope for the medical
profession and everyone affected by it.”
