At AcademyCP our main aim is to promote well-being and self-sufficiency through teacher training across the complementary therapies; through delivery of courses and masterclasses we encourage individuals and groups the opportunity to practice and raise awareness of the long-term health benefits to a wider community. This main aim is based on an understanding that health cannot be improved in isolation and that in order to increase the reach of these benefits, we need to develop relationships across the community, to build an infrastructure of education that can open-up access to everyone in the region (and beyond).
With these things in mind, we are very excited to announce that we are now working in partnership with Lancaster University as part of their Health Innovation programme – to raise greater awareness and deliver those long-term health benefits, to individuals, groups and communities, across the whole region and beyond.
Lancaster University is renowned as one of the most forward-thinking educational institutions in the world and as health systems across the UK, and globally, come under enormous pressure, the University is investing in research and development of innovative approaches across a range of platforms. With support from regional partnerships, national government and the wider European Community – the University’s Health Innovation initiative will provide us all with an ideal opportunity to strengthen the health and well-being of our communities through a collaboration of skills and knowledge, to deliver services that will allow ‘people to live as long and as healthily as possible’.
The Health Innovation programme will focus on delving to the root of health problems by taking a prevention-based approach: “By enabling people to stay healthy, by bringing health management tools into local communities”. To begin with, this is where AcademyCP enters the picture as part of the wider collaboration of like-minded enterprises from across various sectors, coming together to create exciting new projects to benefit the health and wealth of our communities.
Not just a programme or an initiative, a campus specific space is currently under construction at the University site and will be opening later in the year. These are very early days in the process of collaboration, in finding new ways to work together to create a better and healthier community and we are very excited and honoured to have been invited to join in with research, development and delivery from the very beginning. We will of course keep you updated as the programme develops, but in the meantime – head over to the Health Innovation website and find out a little more about the bigger picture:
