Having qualified from Nottingham University in 2006, Dr Anna Forbes was a GMC-licensed doctor for 20 years. In April 2026, she voluntarily relinquished her GMC license to be able to concentrate on 21st Century Integrative Medicine. She continues to work in close collaboration with the other doctors at the clinic, who remain GMC-registered.
Dr Forbes served as the Medical Director of The Hale Clinic, one of the most prestigious Integrative Medicine centres in Europe, for over three years.
She has built a practice centred on truly personalised, whole-health care. She is renowned for her expertise in autoimmune conditions, chronic illness, gut health, and immune system repair.
Disillusioned with the ‘sticking plaster’ approach of conventional medicine, Dr. Forbes embarked on a journey to find more effective, comprehensive ways to address health challenges. By integrating medical science with holistic therapies, she offers her patients real long-term solutions, tailored to their unique needs.
Dr. Forbes’s patients benefit from her background in Psychotherapy and her deep understanding of how the mind, body, and environment are interconnected, which allows her to address both physical and emotional aspects of illness.
Dr Forbes’s commitment to patient empowerment and and getting to the root of unexplained symptoms has positioned her as a leader in the field of Integrative Medicine, helping countless patients regain control of their health and well-being.
Dr. Anna Forbes earned her Bachelor of Medical Sciences and Medical Degree from Nottingham University in 2006. Her early career in the NHS and private healthcare led her to question the traditional, symptom-based approach to medicine. Seeking a more holistic understanding of health, she completed the UK’s first postgraduate diploma in Integrative Medicine in 2011.
Dr. Forbes has since studied a range of advanced therapies, including Functional Medicine, Nutritional Medicine, and Scenar Therapy. Her further training in Quantum devices, Medical Hypnosis, and Scenar Therapy has expanded her expertise, allowing her to address complex health challenges with a unique, integrative approach. She also trained in medical Qigong in Beijing, where she observed curative results in patients who had turned to natural therapies after conventional medicine failed them. Dr. Forbes’s ongoing dedication to learning ensures she provides her patients with cutting-edge treatments backed by both scientific evidence and holistic care.
Dr. Anna Forbes' journey into medicine began with a simple desire: to help people heal. But after qualifying as a doctor, she quickly found herself questioning whether conventional healthcare was addressing the deeper causes of illness.
Working on busy hospital wards, Anna witnessed the pressures of modern medicine firsthand. While patients received treatment for their symptoms, she became increasingly aware that their emotional wellbeing, life experiences, mindset, and personal stories were often overlooked. At the same time, she was facing her own health challenges, which conventional approaches struggled to resolve.
Determined to find answers, Anna embarked on a personal and professional journey that led her beyond traditional medicine. Through exploring nutrition, functional medicine, psychology, mind-body health, and integrative approaches, she discovered a more holistic understanding of healing.
Today, as an Integrative Medicine Doctor and founder of the Forbes Clinic of Integrative Medicine, Anna helps patients uncover the root causes of their health concerns while supporting the whole person—not just their symptoms.
In this video, Anna shares the experiences that transformed her approach to medicine and inspired her mission to help others find hope, healing, and a deeper understanding of their own health journey.
