The SANP or Saskatchewan Association of Naturopathic Practitioners is the governing body for Naturopathic Doctors in the province of Saskatchewan.  Naturopathic Medicine is a regulated health profession in Saskatchewan (The Naturopathy Act, 1978).  We are responsible for the licensing and regulation of Naturopathic Doctors in the province of Saskatchewan.  We ensure that all members are trained and educated according to our rigorous standards.  We oversee all inquiries regarding professional conduct and public safety.

The SANP is available as a public and professional resource and we provide information and position statements on health topics and issues. The SANP works closely with the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (www.cand.ca) and ensures the highest professional standards are maintained.

SANP initiatives

 The SANP is currently working with the Government of Saskatchewan to update our Act and Bylaws.  We are looking to expand our scope of practice to better serve our patients and we are lobbying to enhance public safety by changing our title protection and creating stiffer penalties for those non-registered practitioners practicing within the scope of practice of Naturopathic Doctors.

Postcard campaign

We are involved in a postcard campaign where by you can sign a postcard, available through a Naturopathic Doctor in the province of Saskatchewan, and mail it to our Health Minister, Mr. Don McMorris.  This will assist us in reinforcing to the government the public’s demand for increased access to Naturopathic Doctors, improved scope of practice for Naturopathic Doctors and the demand for public safety in the field of natural medicine through an update to The Naturopathy Act 1978.
