Complementary and alternative therapies
Complementary therapies — such as acupuncture, nutrition and dietetics, homeopathy and massage therapy — are used by some people alongside conventional healthcare. Regulation varies: registered dietitians are regulated by the HCPC, while many other complementary practitioners belong to voluntary registers and professional bodies (for example the British Acupuncture Council or BANT for nutritional therapists) rather than statutory regulators.
Using complementary therapies wisely
Complementary therapies are not a replacement for medical care. If you have a health condition, it is sensible to keep your GP informed and to continue any prescribed treatment. Tell your doctor and your therapist about everything you are using, as some supplements and treatments can interact with medicines.
What to look for
- Registration — membership of a recognised professional body or voluntary register.
- Clear information — honest descriptions of what a therapy involves, without claims to cure illness.
- Insurance and standards — appropriate professional indemnity and hygiene standards.
An informed choice
