Course Name: An Integrated Framework to Improve Patient Outcomes with Paul Turner

Date: Wednesday 24th September 2025 at 7:30pm AEST

Description: Paul introduces his research on an integrated model of health care which bridges the gap between holistic concept and its practical implementation as well as between traditional biomedical and holistic multidimensional approaches to healthcare.   He will discuss how to recognise areas of primary imbalance within the whole person most contributing to a person’s health issues and thus give an understanding of how to recognise underlying relationship imbalances setting the stage for health issues (or otherwise slowing recovery).  This approach is especially relevant in the understanding and management of patients suffering complicated and chronic health issues.

Outcomes. 

1. Learn how holistic and traditional biomedical approaches can work together to enhance outcomes in clients.

2. Reinforce the benefits of performing both a general-holistic and regional-local assessment and how each can uncover clues that may help differentiate between areas and tissue components needing more attention during treatment (primary areas/ tissues) versus adaptive (compensatory/secondary) areas/tissues (i.e. effects).

3. Review the inter-relationship between three important elements that may influence assessment, clinical reasoning and management of a client presenting with an issue (i.e. linking 1. patient Wants/Expectations with, 2. Tissue Needs (based upon your actual findings) and 3. Your background educational knowledge/research.  

The overall goal is to present an integrative model of health care that may help participants understand and manage clients more effectively.
