The JCCP publishes consumer guidance for choosing safe practitioners. The themes: check registration and insurance, verify training and experience for the specific procedure, insist on consultation and cooling-off, confirm premises standards and emergency arrangements, and be wary of pressure selling, home settings and prices too good to be true. The same checklist works for choosing a training academy.
We publish this for models and patients using our clinics, and because delegates should know what informed patients now check. Applied to us: our supervising clinicians’ registrations are on faculty pages; supervision structure is published per treatment; consultation-first is policy; premises are clinical training centres with emergency protocols drilled quarterly. Patients asking harder questions is good for the whole sector, and very good for practitioners trained to answer them.
