In 2023, BANT worked over a number of months with specialists in the field of cancer, including Dr Nina Fuller-Shavel and Dr Carol Granger, to establish new Cancer Guidelines in order to support safe practice and the profession as a whole.<\/p>\n
It is a common requirement in healthcare community for practitioners working with some specific health concerns, where there is a need to work in collaboration with other healthcare professional and\/or a heightened risk of invertedly doing harm, that practitioners complete additional post-graduation training in their chosen field of practice.<\/p>\n
To support client and practitioner safety, and further collaboration with the wider healthcare community, BANT Cancer Guidelines and recommendation to complete additional post-graduation training have been further updated based on questions received from members.\u00a0The Guidelines strongly recommend that only Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioners and BANT Registered Nutritionists\u00ae who have completed an appropriately credited or recognised specialist CPD post-qualification training should support individuals with aconfirmed or suspected cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n
