The Department of Health in England has commissioned NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) to revise their guidelines on supportive and palliative care in adults. A draft document, introduced during the consultation period, which ended on Friday 29th January,2016, missed out the section on Complementary Therapies. No statement has been released by the DoH for this omission, which is causing great concern among professional practitioners of complementary therapies and the general public. In raising an objection to the above and bringing a greater awareness of this critical situation, a petition by Professional Reflexology is running on change.org. A letter objecting to this omission will be sent to The Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Hunt MP. Please sign and share this petition.
To read the letter and sign the petition http://www.professionalreflexology.org/jeremy-hunt
Please don’t let NICE and the DoH take complementary therapy away, as an option for adults in need of supportive or palliative care.
