About GCRN

GCRN registering body for practitioners of Naturopathy

Vision

The GCRN is oldest registering body for practitioners of Naturopathy in the UK, tracing our roots back to 1920. Our vision, is to create a world where Naturopathic Medicine is recognised as a viable and bone fide alternative to conventional primary care medicine.

Our objectives:

  • To establish and maintain standards of education for practitioners and to provide for the inspection of colleges and courses of Naturopathy for the protection and benefit of the public.
  • To keep a register of persons qualified to practice Naturopathy in conformity with the standards of the Register.
  • To supervise the ethical behaviour and professional conduct of the practitioners enrolled on the Register.
  • To provide for and promote education, investigation and research into the science and art of Naturopathy and to disseminate the results of such research.
  • To establish in the UK a framework whereby Naturopaths work alongside conventional doctors, offering an alternative primary health care path for those who want it
  • To maintain our naturopathic roots while embracing modern advances in naturopathic care
