useNature is supporting a Natural Health Care Model ...
... for the advancements and integration of Holistic Active Preventative Natural Medicine into the Australian Conventional Health Care System.
Co-regulation generally means a combination of Industry and Government regulation.
Co-regulation involves the Natural Therapy Industry and the government as the regulator developing strategies and administering and enforcing a workable health care model.
Co-regulation for Natural Therapies means that interest groups or associations of our industry develop guidelines and regulatory arrangements, such as codes of ethics or conduct, in consultation with government.
Natural Therapy Associations will administer their own arrangements, while the government provides legislative backing to enable the arrangements to be enforced.
NOTE:
Co-regulation is best suited for modalities not ever likely to be falling under the stat. Registration system.
Stat. Registration is suitable for Treatment Modalities which need a higher degree of public safety.
Co-regulation, the preferred regulation model for generel Natural Therapy Modalities:
Co-Regulation represents the philosophies and practical means of Natural Therapy Modalities in their correct meaning and practice, of which the key-elements are presented within the Code of Ethics and Conduct.
The Co - Regulation Model |
|
Regulation for Practitioner Only Products (POPs) |
Establish a rule and policy that only accredited "Primary" modality practitioners are permitted to buy and prescribe POPs. To assure this is happening, the provider number of a practitioner needs to be listed next to a purchase order, or in case of a "Patient", a script for POP's Any products sold without a provider number reference should be investigated, and the supplier of the products, should be first cautioned, and on reoccurrence the supplier should not be allowed to sell "Practitioner Only Products". |
"Code of Ethics/Conduct - Scope of Practice" |
Most complaints against Natural Therapies, are about "treatment claims" - "wrong diagnosis", and "selling supplements for profit". If strict Pro-active Guidelines a adhered to, "accredited practitioners" honour those guidelines, most of the complaints would be inconsequential. Further more, if complaints are made, they would be on grounds of "someone" violating "Codes of Ethics/Conduct". Pro-Active addition to the Code of Ethic/Conduct:
