His experiences, relating to the way in which compulsory regulation of Chiropody and Podiatry was achieved and is now being implemented, forms a background to why he has major concerns over the future regulation of CAM.

In addition to his clinical work, he chairs a Fellowship and College of like-minded practitioners, and represents their views on the Council of the BCMA.

His work as an expert witness gives him an opportunity to defend colleagues who may be accused of wrong doing because of their holistic approach to healing, and enables him to enlighten the courts, lawyers and police as to the true meaning and value of evidence base in medicine.

In hoping and working for the best, whilst preparing for the worst, Brian recalled Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Barak’s, recent statement that “A pessimist is an optimist with experience”. Brian may be contacted via Tel: 01353 863218; brian@medicsense.uk.com
