"What’s Really Working?"

"Integrative strategies that are transforming health and wellbeing."
Yes to Life Annual Conference 2025
Friends House, London 27th September 2025

About

The 2025 Yes to Life conferences see us partnering with Mark Taylor of Patient Led Oncology to look at evidence from leading clinics and practitioners around the world as to what strategies are having the most impact on length and quality of life.

Our Spring Conference will be held online and will directly feature international practitioners and their patients as well as other key contributors to both the practice of and the evidence for Integrative Cancer Care.
Our Autumn Conference will be in person in London and will focus on the ways in which people with cancer in the UK can best capitalise on the emerging international data for successful strategies. Whilst the UK is certainly not a top destination for Integrative Oncology, we will be introducing some of our finest providers as well as sharing creative ways to access the many benefits integration can provide.
