	Events The Science Council runs an annual seminar series on a range of topics which give a multi-faceted, rounded look at a disease or treatment modality. We aim to run at least three such events each year. Past event: putting Herbal Medicines into Practice At Kew Gardens in July 2011 we examined quality Herbal Medicinal Products and what they can offer from clinical, regulatory, industry, research, practitioner and end-user perspectives. Conference slides can be read here. Past event: Integrated Cancer Care We brought together leading UK and European scientists, oncologists and GPs to look at all aspects of cancer care, from the latest clinical advances and individualised medicine to epidemiology and prevention.
