CNHC

 

The Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC)

CNHC is the UK voluntary regaulator for complementary helthcare prectitioners that was set up with the government support to protect the public by providing a UK voluntary register of complementary therapists.
CNHC’s register has been approved as an Accredited Register by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care. This means CNHC has met the Professional Standards Authority’s demanding standards.
All CNHC registered practitioners are entitled to use CNHC’s quality mark which demonstrates a commitment to professionalism and high standards. The public and those who commission the services of complementary
healthcare practitioners can choose with confidence, by looking for the CNHC quality mark.

CNHC Registration

CNHC recognises The Reiki Association as a verifying body for CNHC registration and we encourage members to register in order to gain the CNHC quality mark.
Members wishing to regsiter can read more information here, and about the actual verification process here, where a ‘Request to register’ from is available to download

Registration with the CNHC for Reiki Practitioners

  • Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
  • The aim of the CNHC’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Policy is to ensure that standards and requirements are maintained and updated regularly.
  • You will need to confirm at renewal that you have undertaken CPD activities over the previous registration year. CPD is not just about doing courses. Many people think that only formal courses or seminars count towards CPD but there are a wide range of activities you can include.
  • The Reiki Association organises and supports many workshops, retreats, training days and other events for its members which can be regarded as supporting professional development. Certificates for CPD can be provided.
  • Make sure you keep a record of any CPD activity you do throughout the year. Registrants need to complete a CPD log for each registration year. It will be far easier to complete the CNHC CPD log as you go along.
