Welcome to the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC)

CNHC is the UK regulator for complementary healthcare practitioners.

Its key function is to enhance public protection by setting standards for registration with CNHC. The CNHC ‘quality mark' is being recognised as the hallmark of quality for the sector. This means that 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 Department of Health has recommended that, where CNHC registers the professional discipline in question, you consult with someone who is CNHC registered.
