This is a NES-approved process whereby MBCT and MBSR therapists (teachers) can be recognised as having completed the training pathway and keeping up with good practice, thereby being able to teach MBCT and MBSR courses in the Scottish NHS. It is based on the applicant completing a form stating that they are fully compliant with the NES Mindfulness Therapist Training Pathway. This is then scrutinised by a mindfulness supervisor, and the applicant is then recognised as a therapist by being listed on the NHS Mindfulness website. This recognition procedure should also be completed for therapists who use MBCT or MBSR as the main therapy with individual clients, but does not apply to therapists who use mindfulness concepts as part of another therapy e.g. ACT.
