The Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC)

The CNHC is the UK voluntary regulator for complementary healthcare practitioners, this was set up with government support to protect the public by providing a UK register of complementary therapists. CNHC’s register has been approved as an Accredited Register by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care. This means CNHC has met the Professional Standards Authority’s demanding standards. General Medical Council (GMC) guidance confirms that doctors are able to refer patients to practitioners on Accredited Registers.

All CNHC registered practitioners are entitled to use CNHC’s quality mark which demonstrates a commitment to professionalism and high standards. The public and those who commission the services of complementary healthcare practitioners can choose with confidence, by looking for the CNHC quality mark. To find out more about the CNHC download their leaflet “CNHC Registration – what’s in it for you?”, or visit www.cnhc.org.uk
