ABOUT US
BCNH was established in April 2000 by its current Principal Breda Gajsek. As a training provider of Nutritional Therapy courses we aim to provide top quality nutrition education to support the integration of Nutritional Therapy into orthodox medicine.
We continue to build on our existing reputation as an institution that provides quality and inclusive education and now offer a Diploma and a BSc programme without clinical practice (starting from September 2009). We consider ourselves to be a truly global college with students and graduates from all over the world. Our philosophy We believe that what Hippocrates said two and a half millennia ago, is still true today:- ‘Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food’
The nature of our training To the best of our knowledge, our academic rigour is the toughest among the nutritional therapy courses. Hence BCNH courses are not for the faint-hearted. Our students must demonstrate their technical knowledge of the mechanism/s for each contributing factor they address; this makes the study demanding, but enjoyable, as thorough understanding of the topics is vital for the increasingly more demanding and nutritionally educated public. We believe in evidence-based practice and our students are trained in research methods from the start of the course. We also incorporate the latest research into our course materials. BCNH teaching methods include traditional lectures, small group clinical seminars, formative workbooks (not compulsory and not assessed) and one-to-one tutorial support via telephone, Skype or in person. Our students are taught clinical skills from the beginning of the course to ensure confidence and competence by the time they qualify. In level 1, 2 and 3 students learn how to apply theory into practice during the clinical seminars where up to 4 college-set case studies are analysed and their contributing factors and mechanisms identified. Nutritional recommendations, including biochemical and functional tests are also discussed. Experienced lecturers and practitioners train BCNH students to achieve their highest potential.
