CHARITY COMMISSION June 2021 to June 2022
Summary of the objects
To relieve sickness and promote the advancement of health within the community through the use and practice of the principles of anthroposophic medicine in combination with any other conventional or evidence based therapeutic modalities that might be indicated.
In furthering the objects, the C.I.O. will pay attention to the needs of those who are socially excluded by reasons of ill health, disability, unemployment or other reasons.
Summary of the main actvites undertaken in relaton to these objects
The Trust’s main task continues to be rehabilitation of patients referred with complex chronic pain. It also provides for the individual rehabilitation of adults and children suffering other difficult-to-treat long term conditions.
Clinical interventions include medical assessment in which symptoms are seen in context of the person’s biography (strengths, weaknesses, aspirations) as well as of their medical condition(s). A re-interpretation of the diagnosis by the GP with Special Interest broadens treatment options and helps engage the patient both initially and with 1-3 monthly follow up. One-to one therapy (eurythmy, rhythmical massage and transpersonal art) addresses pain, sleep, energy and metabolic disturbances. Suggestions for reduction of analgesic and psychotropic medication is made where this is safely possible.
As part of an ongoing evaluation all patients are asked to complete validated questionnaires EQ5D-3L (quality of life), PHQ-9 (depression) and MYMOP2 (self-defined problem score)
Group social activities help address loneliness, create interest and new skills. They encourage self-confidence, friendship, and a sense of belonging.
Individual support with applications, assessments and appeals for disability benefits has been important for increasing numbers of patients for whom the strain and anxiety caused by the DWP’s system can be severe. A Disability Benefits Advisor has provided expert help.
Trustees have made a note of the Charity Commission’s guidance on conduct as a trustee. All trustees have all made substantial contributions to the establishment of a firm foundation all in a voluntary capacity and without personal benefit.
Main achievements during the year
Patient numbers have continued to increase as the service is better known among GP’s There were 103 new patients seen during the year. All consultations have returned to faceto-face since the Covid-19 epidemic.
Kairos has been accepted a part of the European ‘AnthroMed Clinic Network’, a registered trademark requiring high standards of performance in anthroposophic medicine including delivery, teamwork & evaluation
A newly formed group, initiated by Kairos, of European Pain community and hospital pain clinics met for the first time in Berlin in May with representatives from the UK, Switzerland, Germany and Holland.
A chapter on the role of art in chronic pain management has been accepted in a forthcoming book on Anthroposophic Art Therapy.
Two Kairos staff continued their work on Councils responsible for the worldwide coordination of Anthroposophic Medical Research and of Eurythmy Therapy.
Social activities for patients have included individual and group sessions, over 3 months with a visiting music therapy graduate. A weekly Patient Support Group has been initiated by an enthusiastic former patient whose experience of leading groups at MIND, has made it a valuable weekly opportunity for patients to meet, make friends and find understanding from fellow sufferers of chronic pain.
