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).

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.

—Frank Pittman (20th century)

—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
