International
Conference on Health, Healthcare and Eco-civilisation
Venue: Keyworth
Centre, Keyworth Street, London South Bank University, London SE1 6NG
Dates: 5-6
September 2015
The
Conference will provide a dynamic forum for scholars, researchers,
practitioners and policymakers to generate diverse cross-cultural, comparative
and interdisciplinary perspectives in health and wellbeing; to examine the
close relationship between public health and environmental conditions and
changes; and to explore possible contributions that Chinese Medicine makes to personal
wellbeing in the twenty-first century.
The
conference programme will also include free consultations with highly regarded
practitioners from China and Europe. The consultations will afford the
participant with an invaluable opportunity
to learn more about how Chinese medicine ideas of self-care may be of benefit.
Demonstrations
of health-enhancing activities such as tuina massage, Tai Chi, and Chinese tea culture
will be staged alongside.
The goal of
the Conference is to facilitate insightful and constructive engagements among
subspecialities across the fields of health and wellbeing and environmental
studies, and across Chinese and Western medical traditions, to help develop an
understanding of health and wellbeing in relation to environmental challenges
of the contemporary world.
