Prof George Lewith Award Prize winner 2024

We are delighted to announce that Klara Dolakova is the winner of the Prof George Lewith Award 2024 for early career researchers for her project "Models towards incorporation of TCIM interventions within the UK healthcare: findings from a qualitative study"

The judges felt this is an important topic to explore and relevant to integrative medicine at the moment. It's value in looking at what's lacking in integrative care as regards collaborative/cooperative models, and in providing models/pathways for others to adopt was highlighted.
