Making sure you comply with the law on advertising and the treatment of cancer
As a CNHC registrant, you may be practising therapies which are used to support people with cancer. It is therefore imperative that you familiarise yourself with the provisions of the Cancer Act 1939 and take care to ensure that your advertising complies with the law.
