FHT’s register receives official accreditation

The Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT), professional association for complementary therapists, has had its register accredited as an Accredited Voluntary Register (AVR).

The register received the accreditation from the Professional Standards Authority (PSA) for Health and Social Care – which oversees professional bodies including the General Medical Council – as part of its scheme to accredit voluntary registers for professionals working in sector of the healthcare industry not regulated by Parliament. 

Jennifer Wayte, president of the FHT, said, “We are delighted the register has been approved as an AVR by the PSA. Having independent, quality assurance of our register not only gives confidence to those seeking the services of a complementary healthcare therapist, it will also help the advancement of integrated healthcare.”
