Unfortunately, the Professional Association I joined in March, the Association of Physical and Natural Therapists, because of their fantastic support for therapists during the pandemic, has been dissolved, as of 31st August 2021. While this was originally with the intention of starting a new organisation with a different structure, such as a Limited Company or Community Interest Company, very sadly for a respected organisation founded in 1986, financial irregularities discovered during this process have lead to a criminal investigation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I do however remain a member of the\u00a0BCMA<\/a>\u00a0– the British Complementary Medicine Association, which is a member of the General Council for Soft Tissue Therapies (GCMT<\/a>),\u00a0 and a founder member of\u00a0the Integrated Healthcare Collaborative (IHC<\/a>), bringing together professional associations and stakeholders within complementary, traditional and natural healthcare\u200b.<\/p>\n

(NB as referred to\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0I have now also left the BCMA since this blog post)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
