The Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC)

CNHC is the UK voluntary regulator for complementary healthcare practitioners that was set up with government support to protect the public by providing a UK voluntary register of complementary therapists. CNHC's register has been approved as an Accredited Voluntary Register by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care. This means CNHC has met the PSA’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 has agreed that the Scottish Massage Therapists Organisation (SMTO) may verify applications for CNHC registration and we encourage members to register in order to gain the CNHC quality mark. Members wishing to register should:

View the CNHC Code of Conduct, view a 'Step by Step Guide' to registration or download, complete and submit the Request to Register form.
