The Naturopathic Diploma in The United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom the Naturopathic Diploma is granted to a healthcare professional (Medical Doctor, Osteopath, Chiropractor, Nurse) who has completed a two-year post-graduate Naturopathic Diploma, or to a graduate of the colleges that grant the Naturopathic Diploma, as recognised by The General Council & Register of Naturopaths (GCRN). Currently, these are the British College of Osteopathic Medicine, The College of Osteopaths Educational Trust and the University of Westminster School of Integrated Health under the auspices of the BSc Health Science (Naturopathy) course. Additionally, there are occasional opportunities for naturopathic degree-level students to sit a post graduate examination set by the GCRN if they have attended a non-accredited college but have evidence of additional studying and clinical practice. Naturopaths are registered by the General Council and Register of Naturopaths. and once registered are entitled to call themselves Naturopaths, Naturopathic Physicians, Naturopathic Practitioners or Naturopathic Doctors. However, naturopaths in the UK do not perform minor surgery or have prescribing rights.
Registered naturopathic practitioners are also entitled to become members of the British Naturopathic Association (BNA).

Famous quotes containing the words diploma, united and/or kingdom:
“Our father has an even more important function than modeling manhood for us. He is also the authority to let us relax the requirements of the masculine model: if our father accepts us, then that declares us masculine enough to join the company of men. We, in effect, have our diploma in masculinity and can go on to develop other skills.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“In the United States the whites speak well of the Blacks but think bad about them, whereas the Blacks talk bad and think bad about the whites. Whites fear Blacks, because they have a bad conscience, and Blacks hate whites because they need not have a bad conscience.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
