To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the British Register for Complementary Practitioners (BRCP), the Institute for Complementary and Natural Medicine (ICNM) launched its first ever ICNM Awards in 2009 which recognises complementary medicine practitioners for their achievements and for raising the profile of complementary medicine. 

Dot Medical is very proud to announce that Denise Rankin has won the Outstanding Contribution to Complementary Medicine award. Denise has been a strong advocate of complementary medicine for many years and has worked within the House of Lords and with HRH Prince of Wales within the foundation for Integrated Medicine.

The Outstanding Contribution to Complementary Medicine award includes nominations from anywhere within the medical or complementary medicine sector or the general public.
