CAM Interest Group, European Parliament

During the recent European Parliament, EFCAM ran the Secretariat for the Interest Group for CAM.

The purpose of the CAM Interest Group is to inform Members of the Parliament about CAM and its contribution to European healthcare. It is also to highlight matters of concern and to initiate policy and legislative actions regarding CAM in the Parliament.

EFCAM fully intends to maintain its relationship with interested MEPs as we move into the new parliamentary term.

EFCAM is a Federation of European Federations of specific CAM modalities and national CAM umbrella organisations. Its principal objective is to achieve equality of access to CAM throughout Europe.

Mission Statement

We want to make sure that you, the citizen, can have access to a regulated and protected trade, so that you are only offered the highest standard of services. We want to make sure that you, the practitioner, have your right to work recognised, protected and enshrined. We want to make sure that each European government is well informed and can take a structured approach to the regulation of CAM, so that CAM can be better implemented as a supportive body to the existing medical field.

This work is in everyone’s interest.
