College of Medicine (UK)

The College of Medicine (CoM) is a United Kingdom based organisation founded in 2010 for healthcare professionals and those interested in an approach to healthcare which includes food, social factors (in partnership with the University of Westminster and Wellcome Trust) and integrated healthcare alongside medicines. It describes its mission as follows: "We advocate for a new attitude to healthcare: one which forges partnerships across society, emphasises prevention, good food, exercise, and attention to the emotional as well as the physical."

The organisation originated from the collapse of the Prince of Wales' controversial Foundation for Integrated Health, which was criticised widely for promoting alternative medicine.

Its officers and associates include current and former senior NHS staff. Its current Vice Presidents are Sir Muir Gray, currently Chief Knowledge Officer of the NHS, Duncan Selbie, who is also Chief Executive of Public Health England and Harry Brünjes, founder of the Premier Medical Group. Its first President was Graeme Catto, former President of the General Medical Council.

Its Director is Michael Dixon.

The College is a membership organisation open to all, with particular focus on events for healthcare professionals interested in integrated medicine.

One director of the College, Michael Dixon, is a former director of the Foundation for Integrated Health. A former director of the College, George Lewith, was a council member of the foundation and his research unit at the University of Southampton played an important role in the development of the foundation.
