General Naturopathic Council

General Naturopathic Council The aim of the General Naturopathic Council is to regulate and support naturopathic practitioners in order to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the public.

As more and more people choose natural healthcare practitioners alongside conventional medical treatments, the public and medical professions are becoming more interested in the safe practice and efficacy of complementary therapies. In conjunction with Skills for Health, the GNC has recently developed National Occupational Standards for Naturopaths. The GNC is currently discussing voluntary self-regulation; this is an ongoing process and the site will be updated with the latest developments and achievements.

Join Shoela for this engaging webinar exploring the science and practical strategies for enhancing natural Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).

GLP-1 plays a key role in blood sugar regulation, appetite control, and weight management, and new research shows that it can be supported through natural means.

This session explores how diet, lifestyle and targeted botanicals can stimulate GLP-1 activity to promote healthier metabolism. You will gain insight into evidence-based foods and nutrients, including fibre, protein, healthy fats, and resistant starch, as well as the latest findings on plant-derived compounds.
We'll conclude with a practical discussion of applying natural GLP-1 support in practice – covering diet, botanicals, and lifestyle approaches to help clinicians develop personalised strategies to optimise metabolic health.

Lamberts provides bi-monthly webinars: Lunchtime Masterclasses, kicking off on the 14th of January with “Plant-Based Strategies for Cholesterol Management.”

Join Shoela and explore the connection between plant-based diets and
cholesterol regulation.
This session will identify the scientific mechanisms behind the
cardiovascular benefits of plant-focused nutrition.

Research indicates that plant-based diets can lower LDL cholesterol in a way similar to that seen with standard medications.
We’ll look at the main ways these diets support healthier cholesterol levels.

This webinar explores proven dietary approaches, including the Portfolio Diet. You will gain insight into optimising apolipoprotein B and practical ways to integrate plant-based nutrition into clinical practice.

Strengthen your approach with evidence-informed strategies to apply plant-based interventions - whether as standalone therapies or alongside medication - to improve heart health outcomes.

Following three successful years, the event will be divided into a one-hour talk and two interactive workshops, and will conclude with a Q&A with special guest Chris Newbold.

All attendees will also receive the recording and slides from the IHCAN summit for FREE, plus refreshments, access to all the exhibitors, and a packed goodie bag.

What's more: The event is open to all practitioners interested in naturopathy, regardless of their background. Previous conferences have welcomed nutritional therapists and naturopaths, as well as doctors, pharmacists, osteopaths, and more. If you are an NNA Member, you get additional discounted rates.

Spaces are strictly limited.

Continue your professional development with our “Cancer: Nutritional support before, during and after treatment and beyond” course.

Nutrition practitioners working with people diagnosed with cancer need to understand the characteristics of cancers as a group of diseases, and the range of treatments their clients may receive. Patient journeys and cancer treatments are evolving considerably, with targeted treatments, biological drugs and immunotherapy drugs used extensively, as well as traditional ‘mainstay’ treatments of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery.
Treatment regimens are adding years to life, while supporting techniques, including nutrition and lifestyle medicine, are supporting quality of life.

Professional nutrition practitioners need additional skills beyond their primary qualification to meet the needs of working in this clinical field. Nutrition professionals also need to develop skills to communicate and collaborate effectively with medical teams to support their clients within an integrative paradigm.

ION’s intensive three-day course is designed to help practitioners develop skills and gain confidence in working with clients affected by a range of cancers, to deliver personalised nutrition and lifestyle advice. This course provides a foundation for further understanding and exploration, and for those already working in this field, it provides consolidation and an update of knowledge and skills. As well as theoretical aspects of cancer, specific cases will be used to illustrate appropriate nutritional support alongside typical treatment regimens used in common cancers, including gastrointestinal, breast, prostate, ovarian, lung and head and neck cancers and melanoma.

Continue your professional development with our "Metabolic Syndrome: How Multiple Conditions Collide" course.

This two-day event delves into the complex interplay of factors that define metabolic syndrome (MetS), exploring its physiological underpinnings, clinical implications, and evidence-based interventions.

The interconnected nature of metabolic syndrome can be challenging in clinical practice, as the pressure to address multiple issues can be overwhelming. This course clarifies the links among the cardiometabolic minefields, highlights their interplay with other body systems, creates a holistic picture, and outlines key drivers. It also addresses the growing use of GLP-1 receptor agonists, helping practitioners navigate them effectively in client care; the use of CGMs in clinical practice; and the science on some of the latest ‘popular’ supplements that have drawn controversy.

Explore the complexities of metabolic syndrome (MetS), from its defining components — blood sugar, blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol — to its underlying drivers like inflammation and insulin resistance.
We will cover the physiological connections among MetS, cardiovascular health, and mitochondrial dysfunction, the digestive system’s role, clinical monitoring tools, and practical interventions.

Naturopathic strategies for the GLP-1 era. Nutrition, lifestyle and beyond.

With the explosion of GLP-1 therapies and emerging research on side effects, the NNA conference is focusing on naturopathic strategies and the integrative support practitioners can provide to mitigate side effects and promote long-term wellness in addition to weight management.

Probably the best value conference in the UK next year, not only will you benefit from learning from experts, but you'll also receive the IHCAN Summit recordings and slides for FREE (£99 value), a packed goodie bag and access to all the exhibitors at the event.

Following two successful years, the NNA will retain its format; however, the workshops will follow an hour talk on "GLP-1 and the clinical insights for women’s health." So you benefit from learning in two different ways, including hands-on learning with interactive workshops.
Do not miss it!
