Inspiring hope in healthcare: The Future of Medicine Conference Marks a Shift for Medical Professionals

As the pressure on the healthcare system reaches a new high, The Future of Medicine
conference is set to spark some timely and important conversations among practitioners.

Signalling a shift toward prevention medicine and lifestyle as treatment in the Aotearoa
healthcare system, the Future of Medicine conference will take place at the B:HIVE in
Auckland November 18-19.

Led by training provider PREKURE, the two-day conference is the first of its kind in
Aotearoa and is set to challenge the status-quo in medicine. Eighteen world-leading
medical researchers and practitioners will inspire change through interactive sessions,
discussions, and presentations.

One speaker is PREKURE co-founder, author, and AUT Public Health Professor Grant
Schofield, who says the event was inspired by a global trend towards a newer more
effective medical system.

“In a time where our healthcare system is stretched, workers are burnt out and waitlists
are growing, we have an opportunity to challenge the norm, shift the narrative, and aspire
towards a progressive, thriving, future of medicine in Aotearoa.

“At PREKURE we are on a mission to contribute to expanding the human health span by
bringing what we know from scientific evidence and overseas practice into tangible
impact.”

Featured speakers include Professor Julia Rucklidge, the world leader in improving
mental health through micronutrition, Neurologist Dr Matthew Phillips, whose world
leading research shows the potential of fasting and other dietary approaches to reverse
Alzheimers, Parkinsons and even slow Huntington’s disease, and Registered Nutritionist
Julianne Taylor, who is on the research edge of showing how diet can relieve
autoimmune disease.

The conference coincides with the PREKURE Spring graduation ceremony, which will
recognise the latest intake of certified health and mental health coaches.

A recent report from PREKURE’s Diabetes programme found that when using a
combination of carbohydrate diet restriction and health coaching, it is possible to prevent,
and in some cases reverse Type 2 Diabetes - with all participants during the 12 week
programme noting an improvement in HBA1c results, and 50% noting a clinically
significant improvement.

Featured speaker GP Dr William Ferguson says, “I’m really excited about the Future of
Medicine, and the role that Health Coaches can bring to general practice.

We want to ignite a conversation that will provide hope for the medical profession and
everyone affected by it.”

Tickets are available from thefutureofmedicine.co, with single day and two day passes
available.
