About us FAQs Return to Practice Looking to return to practice? Sometimes after training for a career in nutritional therapy, life gets in the way meaning that you either don’t get started as soon as you intended or alternatively you are forced to put your practice on hold while dealing with other priorities. If you are a qualified Nutritional Therapist and are looking to return to practice (RTP) we offer a range of options for BANT non-practicing members. The training enables you to update your skills and prepares you to return to practice. The level of training that you need to complete is determined by how long you have been out of practice. There are also additional BANT membership and training requirements. ION can provide for your return to practice needs. We work with each applicant to assess the best route back into practice. As a student practitioner, you will work with the Year 3 Leader, the clinical modules leader and join the online RTP cohort in your own virtual classroom called RelION. You will have access to research, up to date video lectures, resources, forums and study skills support.
