In addition, the developments within the Further Education and private sector have added to the increase in provision. With so many different courses on offer, finding the most suitable, quality course is becoming a challenge for applicants. Course titles provide little insight into the philosophy, nature and quality of provision while details within an institute's prospectus or web site frequently do not clearly identify distinguishing features.Key characteristics of quality provision to look for in a course in complementary therapies are discussed. Aspects considered include: the type of institute, modes of study, which therapy and its current regulation, the skills development and clinical experience opportunities, the balance of subjects within a course, the experience of the teaching team and their research activities. Discussion is included of the need for adequate quality assurance procedures to ensure courses evolve to continue to meet the needs of those entering the rapidly developing profession. The relationship of the provider and the appropriate professional bodies is also discussed.A summary of aspects to consider when looking for a comprehensive, quality course has been provided in Table 2.</div>","PeriodicalId":79481,"journal":{"name":"Complementary therapies in nursing & midwifery","volume":"10 2","pages":"Pages 92-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.ctnm.2003.12.004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24512678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An extract believed to promote VLU healing is Horsechestnut Seed Extract (HCSE).Methods: The clinical feasibility of HCSE in VLU was explored in a two-stage design. The second stage presented here, was a descriptive survey exploring current opinion and utilisation of natural therapies, venotonics and HCSE in VLU. A questionnaire mailed to 122 district nurses, 73 medical practitioners (MPs) and 53 clients with VLU resulted in a response rate of 32, 31.5 and 81 per cent, respectively.Results: Natural therapy and HCSE use for VLU was minimal in all groups. Half of all groups supported venotonics, with a similar proportion of nurses and clients utilising venotonics in practice. MPs were however less likely to utilise venotonics for VLU.Conclusion: Whilst clinicians indicate that clinical evidence may influence the utilisation of HCSE in clinical practice, the evidence currently does not exist. Positive findings from well-designed trials may ameliorate the integration of natural medicine into mainstream practice.</div>","PeriodicalId":79481,"journal":{"name":"Complementary therapies in nursing & midwifery","volume":"10 2","pages":"Pages 97-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.ctnm.2004.01.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"24512679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
