Herbal Practise gets the Green Light!
Posted on 16/02/2011
The National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH) today warmly
welcomed the Government's announcement of the statutory regulation of
herbal and traditional medicine practitioners under the Health
Professions Council (HPC). Statutory regulation will ensure the
continued supply of herbal medicines to practitionrs in compliance
with new EU regulation.
Statutory regulation of herbalists has had unequivocal backing from
the House of Lords' Science and Technology Committee as well as two
Department of Health Committees. It has been the subject of two
public consultations, the last attracting over 6000 responses - by far
the majority of which favoured such regulation.
Statutory regulation of this sector will enable regulated herbal
practitioners to delivery high quality herbal treatment in conjunction
with other health care professionals. The legislation will support
safe and professional practice so that the thousands of patients who
consult herbalists every year can be assured about the standards of
training and practice of the practitioners they see.
