The Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC)

CNHC is the UK regulator for complementary healthcare practitioners. Its key function is to enhance public protection by giving the general public and commissioners of services access to a list of practitioners that have been assessed as meeting national standards of competence and practice.

The Department of Health recommends that where members of the public are seeking complementary healthcare, they look for someone who is CNHC registered, where CNHC registers the discipline concerned.
