Member of BANT

The Professional Body for Nutritional Therapists

Nutritional therapy is the application of nutrition science in the promotion of optimum health and peak performance, disease prevention and patient care.

The primary function of BANT is to assist its members in attaining the highest standards of integrity, knowledge, competence and professional practice, in order to protect the client's interests, nutritional therapy and the Nutritional Therapist.

BANT members are qualified in both the science of nutrition as well as clinical practice.

BANT promotes the activities, training and continuing professional development and recommend our practitioners keep fully updated in their profession. We also insist they are fully insured to practice.

BANT was set up as a Company Limited by Guarantee in February 1997. It is a non-profit organisation funded neither by pharmaceutical, agrochemical or government agencies but by member subscriptions and donations.

BANT promotes high standards of education in Nutritional Therapy and high standards of practice and ethics within the profession.

BANT acts as a professional body regulating the activities, training and Continuing Professional Development of its practitioners.

BANT has a governing council of eight people, some of who may be non-members but whose professional experience lies in the medical, scientific or educational area of nutritional science.

BANT practitioners must have met the required standards of training, be fully insured and adhere to the BANT Code of Ethics and Practice.

BANT has a UK-wide network of area co-ordinators who organise support for local practitioners.

Member of The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council

The CNHC is a Government-sponsored, voluntary registration body for complementary healthcare practitioners. Its key function is to provide access to a list of practitioners that have been assessed as meeting national standards of competence and practice.
CNHC is the national voluntary regulator for complementary healthcare practitioners. Their key function is to enhance public protection, by setting standards for registration with CNHC. They anticipate that obtaining the CNHC "quality mark" will swiftly be recognised as the hallmark of quality for the sector. Over time, the general public and those who commission the services of complementary healthcare practitioners will be able to choose with confidence, by looking for the CNHC quality mark.
The CNHC has been developed with the help of complementary healthcare practitioners and with support from what is now known as the College of Medicine (previously the Prince's Foundation for Integrated Health (FIH)). The Department of Health (DH) has consistently supported the CNHC throughout its start-up period and is committed to establishing the CNHC as the national voluntary regulator in the complementary healthcare field.
In the October 2010 Department of Health GP Bulletin, a request was made by the DH that all GPs and Chief Nursing Officers recommend patients who are seeking complementary therapies to consult with practitioners who are registered with the CNHC, where it registers the professional discipline concerned. As a CNHC registered practitioner I have demonstrated that I meet national occupational standards and abide by a rigorous code of conduct. My registration details plus further information about the CNHC’s work are available on the CNHC’s website: www.cnhc.org.uk
