The SANP to become the College of Naturopathic Doctors of Saskatchewan: new legislation is on the way!
Naturopathic Medicine has been receiving some significant press these days and the months ahead will be no different. For the first time since 1978 our legislation with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health will be updated.
Naturopathic Doctors have been a part of a regulated health profession with the Ministry of Health since 1954. With the new legislation, however, Naturopathic Doctors will be able to practice to their full scope.
The most significant changes we will see include the transition from an Association to a College, hence the name change to the College of Naturopathic Doctors of Saskatchewan. We will also have enhanced title protection: this will help ensure the public is more clear about whom they are choosing as a regulated authority in the field of Naturopathic Medicine. With "natural" and "alternative" therapies being en vogue these days you want to ensure that the Doctor you are seeing for your health care is an educated, trained, and fully licensed health care practitioner.
Further changes include access to prescription medications, such as bioidentical hormones and high dose nutrients, and access to laboratory services.
Over the next few months we will be doing the work necessary to bring The Naturopathic Medicine Act 2015 and its associated bylaws into force and hope they will be proclaimed and in force by late 2015, early 2016.
