Abstract

Complementary medicine, within the UK, has undergone enormous change in terms of educational standards and internal organization. These alterations are partly in response to external pressures from the Government, the European Union, the medical profession in the UK and the consumers, and partly come from an internal desire to enhance the status and legitimacy of complementary medical practice. Consequently, the many professional associations representing complementary medicine have engaged in a process of professionalization. This paper briefly reviews some of the changes that have resulted.
