Annotation	Complementary and holistic approaches can play a valuable role in our general health and wellbeing. Carers of older people frequently come across conditions which may be alleviated by such approaches. This training pack is designed for trainers and carers who wish to set up a course for anyone involved in the care of older people - from general practitioners (GPs) to care assistants - and who wish to extend their knowledge and practice into holistic forms of healthcare. The material comprises training notes which provide step-by-step guidance on how to run each of the ten sessions. Subjects covered include dealing with pain, mental distress, mobility problems, digestive problems, and easing the ageing process. (RH).
