Wellbeing and alternative therapies definitions

Healthcare Professionals

The Healthcare Professional that you choose must be registered with/a member of one of the professional organisations recognised by Westfield Health for you to be eligible to claim on your plan. Registration/membership must be relevant to the treatment/service that they are providing. Whilst these professional organisations aim to ensure best practice, there is no statutory regulation of these therapies/services. We therefore strongly recommend that you also check whether your chosen Healthcare Professional is adequately trained and holds any necessary liability insurance. For each therapy/service please ensure that your Healthcare Professional is a member of/registered with:
