Real-World Experts: Selected for their mastery of the topic
This lineup brings together the people getting the best results in natural and integrative healthcare today. They’re not theorists; they’re hands-on clinicians who’ve built what every practitioner wants: loyal patients, consistent outcomes and sustainable growth. Each session reveals how they do it - and how you can too.
Re:Imagine Personalised Medicine & Tailored Programs for a Sustainable Practice
For many practitioners, the challenge isn’t knowing what good care looks like — it’s delivering it consistently in a way that also sustains the practice. One-to-one consults can only stretch so far. Patients drop away once symptoms ease. Protocols that once felt reliable are overtaken by new evidence. Sooner or later, every practitioner faces the same tension: how to provide better patient care without burning out.
The theme of Re:Formulate 2026 - Re:Imagine Personalised Medicine & Tailored Programs for a Sustainable Practice - is about resolving that tension. It’s about building systems of care that safeguard clinical quality while creating sustainable models for practitioners.
Attendees will embark on a connected learning journey across seven main stage sessions, each one a chapter in the bigger story: delivering deeply individualised care at scale without compromising outcomes or your own longevity in practice.
Here's a closer look at what each session offers:
Great care doesn’t end when symptoms ease — it begins when you design health as a lifelong journey.
Session Learning Outcomes
- Learn how to use a lifespan lens to create preventative care pathways.
- Discover ways to transition patients from acute care into long-term health journeys.
- Understand mechanisms for retaining healthy patients.
- Gain strategies to position yourself at the centre of shared-care models.
- Recognise the clinical value of multidisciplinary collaboration.
- Be inspired to redesign practice systems for sustainability and retention.
About the Session
Many practitioners have experienced it: a condition-focused patient presents with an acute issue, receives great care, and then disappears once the immediate problem is resolved.
It’s a pattern that limits impact, creates revenue instability and burns out practitioners.
But what if that first consult could become the beginning of a lifelong patient relationship?
This keynote invites you to reimagine your entire practice model using a lifespan lens. You’ll learn how to transition condition-focused patients into long-term care — reframing goals early, introducing preventative strategies, and building structured retention pathways that evolve with each life stage.
You'll learn how to retain healthy patients through a lifespan-based model supported by lifespan systems.
You'll also discover how a shared-care model can position the natural health practitioner as a primary care provider — supported by a multidisciplinary referral network when specialist care is required, that expands your reach without diminishing your role. Shared care becomes the secret ingredient to better outcomes, greater trust and a more sustainable clinic.
If you've ever felt the pressure of searching for new patients or wondered how to keep patients engaged when they feel well, this session offers a practical roadmap.
You'll leave inspired to build a practice that thrives on continuity, connection and care that evolves with your patients — creating patients for life.

Compounding is more than a dispensary task — it’s your clinical edge that turns medicine into the signature of your care.
Session Learning Outcomes
- Understand how powder compounding and liquid herb dispensing improves outcomes and retention.
- Learn how to confidently create patient-specific formulations.
- Discover how leading clinics run compounding workflows without overwhelming staff.
- Recognise how compounding strengthens your brand.
- Gain knowledge to compound safely and effectively.

About the Session
Personalised prescribing is no longer a nice-to-have — it’s a clinical imperative. Powder compounding offers a powerful way to deliver targeted, therapeutic formulations tailored to a patient’s specific biochemical and clinical profile. But creating truly individualised care demands clinical precision, workflow structure and confidence with compounding as both a science and a practice model.
This advanced session will show you how experienced clinicians integrate powder compounding into daily practice — using functional test data, symptom clusters and clinical judgement to formulate effectively, safely, and at scale. You’ll learn how to streamline workflows without compromising on quality, and how compounding can increase compliance, protect scripts and build retention through results-driven care.
We’ll also examine the enduring role of liquid herb dispensing — particularly as a long-term strategy for titration, synergy and adherence. You’ll gain insights into how both forms of compounding support personalisation at the highest standard of care, and how leading clinics manage risk, interactions and regulatory considerations with clarity and confidence.
This session will challenge you to think clinically and commercially — reframing compounding not just as a dispensary task, but as a core component of your practitioner brand, patient outcomes and retention model.
Re:Imagine your prescribing strategy with a personalised compounding approach that delivers patients for life.

Shared care is the pathway to patient loyalty. Build the right network, and you remain the trusted guide for life.
Session Learning Outcomes
- Understand how the Patient Lifespan Model relies on a multdisciplinary network and shared care.
- Learn what natural health practitioners can adapt from structured referral models.
- Recognise the value natural health practitioners bring to multidisciplinary care and how to communicate it confidently.
- Identify the behaviours and communication practices that build trust and generate referrals.
- Discover how to work effectively within referral relationships.
- Be inspired to embrace a connected care model as a trusted primary caregiver.
About the Session
Every practitioner knows that at some point every patient will need more than one form of care. It might be pharmaceutical support, specialist intervention or another health professional. The challenge is staying at the centre of that patient’s care while ensuring they receive the support they need. Only a shared-care model makes this possible — and it’s what allows you to remain a trusted caregiver across the patient’s lifespan.
In this session, you’ll hear directly from a GP who has built successful shared-care networks with natural health practitioners. You’ll learn what makes a strong collaborator, the behaviours and communication practices allied health professionals expect, and how to confidently communicate your unique value so GPs and specialists want to work with you.
You’ll see how the structured referral systems used in conventional medicine can be adapted to natural health, giving you clear frameworks for roles, responsibilities and communication. You’ll gain practical tools to establish repeatable referral pathways and learn how to work effectively inside them. You’ll also discover how to achieve true cross-referrals — creating relationships where other disciplines feel confident sending patients back to you.
You’ll discover how to find the right GPs and allied health partners who are open to collaboration, and how to approach them with credibility and confidence. Real case examples will show how shared care delivers stronger outcomes, higher patient trust and long-term retention.
Most importantly, you’ll leave inspired to embrace the model patients want and value — one where natural health practitioners sit confidently at the centre of a connected, multidisciplinary team that supports their patients for life.

About the Session
Collaboration isn’t the future of healthcare — it’s the present reality we can no longer ignore. Yet while most practitioners believe in the idea of working together, far fewer have seen what true multidisciplinary practice looks like day-to-day.
In a live, interactive conversation, this dynamic panel will pull back the curtain on what multidisciplinary care looks like in action — showing how shared care models and structured referrals succeed, what gets in the way when they don’t, and how collaboration ultimately delivers better outcomes for patients.
This is your chance to see collaboration in action. The panel will unpack how practitioners decide who to work with, what builds trust across disciplines, and the practical first steps you can take to create your own referral network with confidence. Through their stories — and your questions — you’ll learn how to move from working alone to building sustainable, trust-based partnerships.
Together, the panellists will also surface the opportunities — and the gaps that still hold the profession back — while highlighting the role of education, professional standards and industry support in making shared care more efficient, ethical and sustainable.
Expect practical takeaways: tools, systems and communication strategies you can put to work immediately in your own practice.

Retention isn’t chance — it’s built through repeatable systems that make continuity of care the natural outcome of your practice.
Session Learning Outcomes
- Understand the clinical and operation drivers of long-term patient retention.
- Map the patient-practitioner lifecycle to pinpoint where loyalty is built or lost.
- Learn repeatable behaviours that deepen trust and reduce drop-off.
- Discover clinic-wide systems, workflows, and technology that support retention.
- Explore how high-retention clinics use communication protocols, maintenance plans, and programs to sustain engagement.
- Be inspired by a real-world clinic that build sustainability through retention-first systems.
About the Session
Sustainable clinics aren’t built on constant new patient acquisition - they’re built on the continuity of care.
This session is for practitioners who already understand the basics of patient engagement and want to master the systems, behaviours and workflows that drive long-term patient retention in real-world clinical practice.
Retention is the result of clinical and operational systems that support continuity of care, reduce patient churn, and create a more sustainable, scalable practice.
You’ll learn how to map the full lifecycle of the patient–practitioner relationship — from onboarding through acute care, ongoing treatment, wellness phases and long-term connection — to pinpoint where loyalty is built or lost.
Explore repeatable clinical behaviours that deepen trust, increase compliance and reduce drop-off — including the rhythms of care, rebooking language and boundary-setting that supports connection without burnout.
You’ll go beyond the consult to discover the clinic-wide operational systems that support continuity without increasing your workload. See how high-retention clinics maintain engagement - even with “well patients”. Discover the technology and systems that support retention at scale.
If you’re ready to move beyond retention theory and into real-world implementation, this session delivers a blueprint you can use to build a retention-first clinic that’s clinically sound, operationally scalable and sustainable for life.

About the Session
The shift from being evidence-aware to evidence-integrated is the hallmark of an evidence-led practice. An evidence-led practice isn’t just aware of new research; it evolves with it.
This session is for experienced clinical practitioners who understand how to interpret research and want to go deeper into how to act on it to refine and advance their treatment approach.
In a rapidly evolving field, even the most seasoned clinicians struggle to know when to update a trusted protocol, why to switch from a well-loved product to a newer formulation, or how to introduce evidence-led changes without disrupting patient trust, clinical workflow or outcomes.
This session delivers strategic, real-world answers to those challenges.
You’ll explore recent clinically-significant findings that are actively reshaping how leading practitioners approach testing, treatment protocols, prescribing, product selection and program design.
But the focus isn’t just on what’s new—it’s on how to respond to new evidence in ways that improve outcomes, strengthen compliance and maintain credibility.
You'll discover frameworks to determine when new evidence warrants change (and when it doesn't), how to update protocols while preserving therapeutic continuity, how to phase out outdated prescribing habits and legacy products, and how to evolve your practice model and patient communication in line with current evidence.
This session is a strategic guide to translating the latest research into measurable clinical outcomes.
