This is for any practitioner previously registered through the APNT
​
Following the closure of the APNT, we would like to assure our practitioners who registered through them that you will still be eligible for BCMA registration, and we now have a system in place for you - the Bodywork Affiliates Register you will be able to join directly at your normal renewal time. You should have received emails from us explaining how. If you are due to renew, please follow the guidance below.
​
You have been contacted via email to explain the details (if you have not received any emails from us please contact the office - office@bcma.co.uk. Please rest assured you will not be removed from the register even if you are past your normal renewal date while we are setting everything up.
​
Please note the BCMA do not sell insurance and we urge you to set up your insurance so it doesn't expire, with one of our preferred insurers who will offer you a discount - Holistic Insurance Services or Balens - if you require your registration number or further information, please contact the office.

*Regarding CPD, we understand last year was difficult for everyone, but you will see from the categories that you probably did some CPD without even realising it! We are being flexible with CPD for last year so please just send details of whatever you did on the Activity Review Sheet, NB. there is no need to include all the CPD documentation at this time as we only check a random sample each year so just keep a portfolio of your CPD activities on record to send if requested.
Do not hesitate to contact me should you need any help with anything.
Please understand it is a busy time at the office and we are working as quickly as possible to renew everyone through the Bodywork Affiliates Register, however, rest assured you will not be removed from BCMA registration while moving everyone across, and I will process your registration as quickly as possible once received.
If you require a certificate urgently do let me know.
If you were previously registered through the APNT and are not due or overdue to renew, you may still want to contact us below to find out your options, update your website entry or simply ask a question, rest assured your registration will continue until your renewal date.
