Referrals
Referrals to complementary therapists
The BMA produced this guidance in 2009 in response to evidence of continuing interest amongst patients in the use of treatment modalities which are currently outside NHS healthcare provision but which are delivered by professionals who have statutory regulation in place. The aim of this guidance is to clarify the legal and ethical obligations of GPs in responding to requests for such treatment.
