April 2008 saw the launch of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) which aims to increase regulation within the field of complementary and alternative medicine. Now that the CNHC is accepting membership on their register, can they manage to succeed in regulating what has always been a very diverse and elusive form of healthcare in the UK? The CNHC aims to protect members of the public by helping them to identify capable and qualified therapists. As well as having minimum criteria for entry they can also remove registered therapists who breach professional standards. Although professional bodies do exist for the majority of complementary therapies in the UK, the degree of regulation and strictness of their criteria of entry do vary considerably. Whilst the majority of professional bodies will exist to further the practice of their therapy, and to promote good practice, they do not always exist primarily to protect the public from bad practice. Currently there is nothing to stop therapists from practicing without any form of professional membership. Therapists who are not properly trained and supervised are likely to be fairly ineffective which leads to the therapy receiving a bad name. For this reason you would assume that the creation of such a body would also be well received by people working in complementary therapy, but this has not always been the case. Whilst a number of professional bodies have been eager to collaborate with the CNHC, there are also a number that are showing greater reluctance. In order to achieve its goals the CNHC needs to ensure that sufficient therapies fall under its jurisdiction. Without general consensus of support from within the field they are in danger of fragmenting regulation and creating a group of trusted practitioners and a therapy black market. Some professional organisations are not yet convinced about the benefits that their members will achieve through registration with the CNHC. It appears that the body still has some work to do to convince people that they will be able to deliver what they are aiming for. There are also some other concerns that have been expressed with the attempt to create a central regulatory body within the field of complementary and alternative medicine. One such concern relates to the diverse range of therapies that exist, and the range of training available within an individual therapy modality. The CNHC will demand minimum criteria for entry in terms of the qualifications that their members have achieved. Therapists with qualifications that were awarded many years ago, or those who trained in smaller institutions (or overseas institutions), may not meet the minimum criteria. This does not necessarily mean they are not capable therapists, but it does mean they would be denied entry to the register. This leads to the question as to whether or not complementary and alternative medicine can, or should, really be regulated in the same way as modern Western medicine. The current situation, where regulation is fragmented and varies greatly in its degree of severity, does not help consumer confidence and ultimately harms this field of healthcare. Time will tell whether or not the CNHC is a feasible solution, and this will ultimately depend on the support of both the public and the professional bodies. Watch this space!
