Mission Statement

The Society of Naturopathic and Naprapathic Doctors exists to uphold, advance, and regulate high standards of professional practice in naturopathic and naprapathic medicine within the United Kingdom.

Our mission is to protect the public, support practitioner development, and promote structured, accountable, and competency-based healthcare education. We are committed to ensuring that those who hold our registration, honours, titles and licensure meet clearly defined standards of training, ethical conduct, clinical competence, and ongoing professional development.

We work in partnership with accredited educational providers and independent external examiners to ensure that qualifications leading to professional recognition are robust, examined, and defensible.

Our framework requires demonstrable competence, supervised clinical experience, continuing professional development, and transparent governance. Through independent oversight, fitness-to-practise procedures, and public registers, we aim to strengthen trust, integrity, and credibility within integrative and manual medicine, shaping a responsible and sustainable future for the profession in the UK.
