New
alliance for Complementary Medicine
The British
Complementary Medicine Association (BCMA)
- the UK's leading umbrella body for complementary therapies has teamed up
with the Internet Health Library
- the UK's leading internet health resource which specialises in providing
the latest news, information and research on alternative and complementary
medicines and natural health care.
The BCMA
represents 45 single therapy organisations, 18 independent schools and
over 20,000 complementary medical practitioners throughout the UK.
The Internet
Health Library
maintains a comprehensive database of fully referenced research relating
to complementary medicines and natural health care, and has links to
hundreds of professional associations, self-help organisations, and
suppliers of reputable related products and services.
Over the past decade, the level of interest in
complementary medicine has grown exponentially. Recent surveys reveal that
over 40% of GPs regularly refer patients for complementary medical
treatments, 85% of medical students and 76% of GPs believe complementary
therapies should be made more widely available through the NHS, 89% of
nurses recommend complementary therapies to patients and 33% of the
general public have used complementary therapies (of which over 80% stated
that it had helped them).
The new alliance between the BCMA and the
Internet Health Library means that health professionals and the growing
number of members of the public interested in complementary medicines will
have FREE access to every aspect of complementary health care, including
fully referenced research, qualified practitioners, quality training and
reputable products and services.
