Alison responded, on behalf of CAR, to the CNHC regarding their invitation to be a member of their consultation group and commended the dedicated efforts of their team with the Core Curriculum draft review. Alison raised the subject of some of their wording. They refer to ‘stimulating and sedating effects of treatment’. In her letter Alison spoke of the amazing work of the late Clive O’Hara, the founder of CCR and CAR where ‘STIMULATION’ is a Reflexology swear word. The effect upon the part of the body to which the reflex point or area corresponds is not one of stimulation, it is NORMALISATION. Alison has had no response to her correspondence which she and all present at the AGM consider to be disrespectful by not replying and lack of consideration with this contribution from CAR. Action . Correspond with CNHC and publish the content of Alison’s response on our website, to clarify & highlight CAR’s fundamental disagreement with CNHC’ current wording(as explained above), now published in the newly edited Core Curriculum for Reflexology in the UK. |

Any Other Business Pat Hunter explained that her role is the Complementary Therapy Lead at Willow Wood Hospice. She is working on an outreach service to Tameside Hospital Macmillan unit providing therapies and information about the hospice for patients coming into the unit. This has enabled people to access the help and support they need. They hope to expand the Willow Wood outreach service by having volunteer therapists to cover other times and days. As a result potential patients will be able to find out about the hospice, and access support from them. |
