“The current complementary medicine division between state-registered and voluntary-registered practitioners will be destroyed in three years, when a major public advertising campaign will begin to discredit those on voluntary registers.”
There is no evidence that statutory regulation of ANY kind of health professional improves public safety.
That’s why we’re deeply suspicious about current attempts to “regulate” and “register” CAM practitioners. Regulation has little to do with the safety of the public. Indeed, as we’re seeing with the EU’s continuing attempts to ban nutritional supplements, regulation has nothing to do with evidence, let alone safety. It has more to do safeguarding the profits of the pharmaceutical industry.
Now comes an amazing report on a meeting between psychoanalysts - who are also facing increasing regualtion “to protect trhe public” and the HPC - that’s the Health Professions Council, yet another new Regulator currently “regulatring” dietitians, physiotherapists, chiropodists and the like.
In this meeting the HPC reps tell the amazed (I presume) College of Psychoanalysts that the current complementary medicine division between state-registered and voluntary-registered practitioners - which was mentioned in the discussion as being a possible structure for therapists - would be destroyed in three years, when a major public advertising campaign would begin to discredit those on the voluntary register.
Unbelievable, but true. Read the full account at this link - College of Psychoanalysts
