Registering your services on the NHS Database

Hi there

I am a "qualified" Tui Na Therapist (qualified in 2003 with Bodyharmonics) & have passed BhTEC (ITEC) exams in A&P. I have a diploma in Foundation Tui Na and Master Tui Na disciplines.

Having submitted paperwork to CtHA to request entry into the NHS Therapist Database (Feb 2012) & receiving no response. I contacted CtHA for an update on my application.

I was informed that my application was not successful as my qualifications did not meet the required standards. I then enquired about conversion courses or additional training, again no information was available.

Would be good to hear other therapists experiences & advice on this subject........

Did you apply for massage therapy? Is BhTEC part of ITEC? I believe that CNHC require minimum national occupational standards to have been met. You could check on the CNHC website for eligibility?
Jason Briers Apr 23 2012 2:29PM	Hi Susan Yes, applied for CNCH via CtHA & also a 'yes' to be registered for massage therapy. According to their website (CNCH), I have to apply through CtHA, which I did. Not sure if CtHA are telling me that CNCH do not recognise qualification.
