  • It is important that, as you begin your career in herbal medicine, you bear the following guidelines in mind. A successful career as a herbalist depends upon your maintaining a reputation for professionalism, discretion, respect and kindness for others. This applies to you as an individual, and to the reputation of the profession as a whole. 

    Please be sure at all times to conduct yourself in accordance with the values of the programme and of the wider profession, online as well as in-person. Communications should maintain a professional tone of voice.
