What is the FHT Ambassador Programme?

It is our mission to promote the highest standards in professional practice, promoting the FHT's mark of quality to therapists, healthcare providers and the public. 

We do this nationally in a number of ways, including: advertising in print and online; lobbying parliament and key government stakeholders; and working closely with decision makers within health and social care, employment and education.

We now seek to raise awareness on a regional level through the FHT Ambassador Programme. It sees specially appointed, local FHT Ambassadors visiting your college, whenever you require a talk for your therapy students throughout the academic year. 

What are the benefits of an Ambassador visit?

The programme puts a trusted, trained FHT representative in your classroom, giving your students valuable information about regulating bodies, insurance and all the valuable support the FHT has to offer every step of their therapy career.

Students will be awarded 2 CPD points for attending the talk and will be given a certificate for their portfolio. If they are training in Beauty and Hairdressing, it will also count towards the business units on their course.

Ali Brown
Ali Brown

Ali became involved with complementary therapies back in 1992. She had been suffering with eczema on her hands for 14 years and using steroid creams as her only comfort. Tea Tree was recommended in a hand cream which she used some what sceptically and was surprised to find that it cleared in just three months!

From then on Ali became passionate about complementary therapies and would read anything she could find on the subject.

She then trained on a two-year course at Northbrook College for a Diploma in Holistic Therapies and has carried on training while setting up and running her own business, Ali's Holistic Hands.

She has been improving on her knowledge since starting out in 1992, and has experience with running her own holistic therapy business since 2000.
