Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for CNHC registrants
As a CNHC registrant you are required to participate in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to maintain your registration. In this article, we take a look at the requirements you must meet, CNHC’s “reflective practice” approach, what activities count towards your CPD and how to record it.
News from our Verifying Organisations and Stakeholders
Let the Quality Mark set you apart
The Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA) have launched a campaign to encourage practitioners on their Accredited Registers (including the one held by CNHC) to display the Quality Mark. Displaying the Quality Mark tells your audiences that you are a healthcare practitioner committed to delivering quality care and is great way to signpost the public to your services.
The PSA have produced a toolkit and social media graphics for you to use. We’ll be sharing these with you over the coming weeks.
Making sure you comply with the law on advertising and the treatment of cancer
As a CNHC registrant, you may be practising therapies which are used by those receiving treatment for cancer. It is therefore imperative that you familiarise yourself with the provisions of the Cancer Act 1939 and take care to ensure that your advertising complies with the law.
We have recently updated our Guidance on the Cancer Act 1939 with details of information published by Cancer Research UK and advise our registrants to read it carefully.
Adding an additional therapy to your CNHC registration
Are you a multidisciplinary CNHC Registrant practising more than one complementary therapy? Did you know you can apply to register additional disciplines with us and they will appear in our online searchable Accredited Register?
