Stand up for standards

Why professional standards matter

Standards help protect the public, strengthen professionalism and build confidence in complementary healthcare.

Protecting the public. Promoting professionalism. Building confidence.

A little taste of what’s coming with NURTURE

Rebecca, our Registrant Engagement and Development Consultant, is working closely with our partners to develop NURTURE, a new programme bringing additional support, benefits and opportunities to CNHC registrants.

Plans include new benefits and discounts, practitioner spotlights, opportunities for registrants to showcase their businesses, and regular calls and talks on practical topics including accounting, marketing, client retention and running a successful practice.

Rebecca will share more in a dedicated email at the end of October, ahead of NURTURE officially launching in January 2027.

Helping the public choose with confidence

CNHC is supporting the Professional Standards Authority’s Look Before You Book campaign, which encourages members of the public to carry out appropriate checks before choosing a health or wellbeing practitioner.

The campaign asks people to look for the Accredited Registers Quality Mark. The mark shows that a register has been independently assessed by the Professional Standards Authority and meets its Standards for Accredited Registers.

For CNHC Registrants, this is an opportunity to increase public understanding of what registration represents. Talk about your registration, display the Quality Mark correctly and help clients understand why professional standards matter.

Joint Statement of Intent on AI

Professional regulators and Accredited Registers have published a shared commitment to the safe, effective and responsible use of AI in health and social care. The statement recognises AI’s potential while maintaining public confidence and professional standards.
