Dr Thompson is passionate about supporting a transformation of healthcare towards an empowered Integrative Medicine Model that combines conventional, holistic, functional and lifestyle approaches to support health and wellbeing. She trained in Medicine at the University of Oxford and in Palliative Medicine in the West of Scotland to consultant level.

Part of the movement for change in healthcare includes a focus on education, which led Dr Thompson to set up an accredited 2-3 year master's level 7 Diploma in Integrative Healthcare, focusing on clinical, business and research elements to support healthcare professionals into a career in Integrative Medicine.
