Our Care team at Next Practice WSIH have expertise in supportive cancer care and provide a range of services to support you throughout your journey in order to complement your medical treatment. Our whole person approach is based on the latest scientific evidence.
The Cancer Council defines supportive care as “all forms of care and support that aim to improve the quality of life of people living with cancer, cancer survivors and their loved ones, particular forms of care that supplement clinical treatment modalities”.
The Society for Integrative Oncology defines integrative oncology as “a patient-centered, evidence-informed field of cancer care that utilizes mind and body practices, natural products, and/or lifestyle modifications from different traditions alongside conventional cancer treatments. Integrative oncology aims to optimize health, quality of life, and clinical outcomes across the cancer care continuum and to empower people to prevent cancer and become active participants before, during, and beyond cancer treatment.”

Our Care team is here to provide relaxation and relief from cancer or treatment-related symptoms. People with cancer are eligible for a limited number of free treatments through the Dry July Foundation. This foundation provides funding to reduce the costs of these services. This includes Acupuncture, Private Yoga Therapy and Oncology Massage Therapy. We also provide Group Yoga Classes at an unlimited amount.
Next Practice WSIH is Australia's first University-based integrative medical centre, an initiative of Western Sydney University's NICM Health Research Institute and run by Next Practice. Our services currently include Yoga Therapy, Oncology Massage, and Acupuncture all onsite at our clinic in Westmead, NSW. In future, we will also have General Practitioners, Integrative Medical Practitioners, Psychologists and Pathology.
