Garner Thomson
Garner Thomson
Garner Thomson, NLP Master Practitioner and Trainer, is the founder and training director of the Society of Medical NLP, and the creator of the Medical NLP programme. Medical NLP is a field developed out of the work of Richard Bandler, integrating Neuro-Linguistic Programming, solutionoriented psychotherapy and advanced communication skills into mainstream medical practice.
In 1996 at the request of a number of doctors who became interested in the results achieved in his own practice by his non-invasive, drug-free approach to chronic illness, he began to share his experiences with health professionals of all specialties.
In 1998, Garner founded The Society of Medical NLP, with the support of Dr Bandler, and clinical advisor and GP trainer Dr Khalid Khan. He assembled a group of professional advisors, including specialists in primary care, and consultant physicians in pain management, surgery, anaesthetics, care of the elderly, psychiatry, paediatrics, nutrition and nursing, all of whom trained with him in Medical NLP and communication and consulting skills.
