We are the Guild of Health and St Raphael – and we are a wide group of people who seek to explore the links between faith and health, primarily but not exclusively from a Christian perspective. This is such a wide topic that we represent many different fields, professions and areas of activity. We value a holistic approach to human health, inclusivity and enabling others.
