NHS Directory
The NHS
Directory is a list of Complementary and Alternative Medical
Practitioners, compiled and managed by the
NHS Trusts Association,
the leading professional association for primary care in the UK, for
use by NHS healthcare professionals.
Working in
partnership with Complementary Alternatives, an online
magazine focussed on healthy living, the NHSTA is making its
database of complementary therapists available to the public at
http://www.complementaryalternatives.com.
Though the
availability of complementary therapy via the NHS is now beginning
to make headlines in the newspapers, it does not necessarily mean
that all doctors are willing to prescribe complementary
medicine; at the end of the day the decision to prescribe is still a
matter for clinical judgement of your GP.
Any member of
the public who is encountering difficulties in obtaining
complementary therapy via the NHS and who would like to bring this
problem to the notice of their Primary Care Trust, should
write to the Patient Advice and Liaison Co-ordinator (PAL) at
their Primary Care Trust.
Below is a
list of complementary practitioners who are based in your local
area:
