What are changes to naming restrictions on non-licensees?
The Healthcare Services Act 2020 (HCSA) FAQs, Naming Restriction
To protect the public from being misled into thinking they are consuming a licensed healthcare service, non-licensees are prohibited from referring to skills/services purporting to treat disease of the human body in their healthcare advertisements.
Non-licensees cannot use terms or names of LHSes, or terms associated with medical or dental specialities, in their business names with the exception of health-related societies and academic institutions or associations.
