About the Practice

 

St. Luke’s offers all the services  normally found in NHS general  practices plus additional treatments in order to provide a more holistic  approach to patient care.  The  practice emphasises the prescription  of homeopathic and anthroposophical medicines, and aims to restrict the  prescribing of conventional drugs to those situations where we feel they  are essential.

The doctors consider that these complementary medicines  can aid the healing of illness, whereas  many drugs simply suppress symptoms. The doctors, nevertheless, recognise that conventional drugs are needed in certain conditions.  All the medicines, conventional or not, are available on the NHS.

In addition, the doctors frequently recommend other treatments ranging from Massage, special baths, movement/Eurythmy therapy or Art therapy.  Massage and special baths can further support the body’s own healing possibilities, while in the Art and Eurythmy therapies, patients have an opportunity to be actively involved in the treatment process itself.  This is very much in keeping with the St. Luke’s philosophy of patients being active partners, rather than passive recipients of care.

All these treatments are available at St. Luke’s, but so far have not been provided under the NHS in Gloucestershire.  In order that these therapies can be available to anyone who needs them, irrespective of their financial situation, St. Luke’s Trust helps in a number of ways.
