Who we are
BSIO Executive Committee
BSIO (British Society for Integrative Oncology) is the leading professional organisation for integrative oncology in the UK.
Our goal is to promote the integration of conventional, psychological, nutritional, lifestyle and complementary medicine in cancer care.
BSIO aims to improve cancer care by supporting healthcare professionals through:
facilitating interdisciplinary communication and collaboration
providing educational resources with up-to-date evidence to support good clinical practice in integrative oncology and
promoting research needed for effective integrative care
Our vision is that evidence-based, comprehensive, integrative healthcare should be readily accessible to anyone affected by cancer in the UK.
BSIO was founded in 2011 as an initiative launched by Robin Daly, the founder and chairman of the UK Charity Yes to Life.
