BANT is pleased to announce that, following discussions with CNHC, in which BANT presented the case for Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioners to be allowed to continue working face-to-face, we now have a confirmation that this is permitted.<\/p>\n
CNHC have subsequently updated their guidelines to state that CNHC Registrants in England meet the definition of\u00a0 \u201cother\u2026health services, including services relating to mental health\u201d contained in Section 47, Part 3 of the Schedule to The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) (No. 4) Regulations 2020 and can, therefore, continue to practise throughout the latest lockdown measures announced on the 5th of November.<\/p>\n
You can read the full CNHC guidelines for face-to-face consultations here<\/a> and the full list of national restrictions here.<\/a><\/p>\n There may be some differences in practice in different countries and areas if localised measures are in place. The local protection levels for Scotland can be found here<\/a>, for Northern Ireland\u00a0here<\/a> and for Wales here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The recommendations for Practitioners wishing to continue with face-to-face appointments remain unchanged. For both Practitioner and client safety, it is important to follow current hygiene and social distancing measures as previously communicated. You can find these in the BANT COVID-19 Bulletin 7<\/a> on preparing for face-to-face appointments.<\/p>\n
