Issues & Statements

At the British Columbia Naturopathic Doctors (BCND), we are dedicated to addressing critical issues that impact the naturopathic profession and healthcare access across the province. Our issues management approach ensures that the voice of naturopathic doctors (NDs) is heard on key topics, ranging from regulatory changes to vaccinations.


We actively monitor, analyze, and respond to developments that affect our profession, keeping our members informed and advocating on their behalf. In situations where public statements or responses are required, we issue official statements to clearly articulate BCND’s position, offer solutions, and advocate for policies that promote the advancement of naturopathic care.


Through strategic engagement with government, healthcare organizations, and the public, BCND aims to raise awareness of the value that NDs bring to patient care, foster meaningful change, and protect the integrity of naturopathic medicine in British Columbia. Our statements are informed by the collective experience and expertise of our members, as well as evidence-based practices that highlight the benefits of integrative, holistic care.
