Our investment in quality is also important to us for another reason. At ICM/BRCP we are concerned to develop a bridge of language and excellence between allopathic healthcare provision, and integrated holistic/complementary medicine. We believe that this bridge can only be built by a commitment within the complementary medicine field to the highest standards of training and Practitioner progression. At the root of this is our belief that members of the public seeking high-quality care are increasingly concerned to receive holistic approaches within a healthcare plan. This can only be achieved by dedicated liaison within the professions, and a commitment to the highest quality of holistic provision.

Course Affiliation
The ICM offers two stages in the route to Course Registration.
- Affiliation
- Accreditation
To meet the required standards at each stage of this process, a training course must provide evidence of their Programme of Study, teaching syllabus, learning outcomes, underpinning knowledge of theory and practice, experience and competence of tutors. Each application is considered by the Educational Panel, who will liaise closely with the course provider on the Accreditation process at each stage, and those areas which may need to be adjusted or improved.

CPD Policy for Practitioners and Therapists
At the ICM/BRCP we aim to help you, the Practitioner or Therapist., to find an effective way to engage with CPD. You should feel comfortable with the process of continued learning and may find that, by introducing some structure into your development, it will enable you to improve your practice and use of your time.
CPD is an area of provision which we are actively developing for our Members over the next 12 months.
