The Bach Foundation Registered Practitioner Forum is a restricted area that is only for practitioners who are registered with the Dr Edward Bach Foundation. If you are not a registered practitioner there is a public forum that you can join instead.

Joining the Forums lets you keep in touch with other BFRPs all around the world. Use it to ask for opinions or advice, talk about funny and interesting things that have happened, share problems and so on.

Joining does not cost anything, and you can leave at any time.

If you haven't joined the forum yet here's how to do it:

• Go to the forum
• In the top right quarter of the screen, click on the link that says 'Register'
• Read the registration conditions and click the link to say you agree to them
• Type in a username - this can be any name that you want to be identified by
• Type in your email address and create a password - the password has to be entered twice
• Type in the confirmation code, and type in the word that appears in red (these two checks are to stop computers from registering automatically, which could lead to the forum getting lots of spam messages)
• In the section headed 'Profile Info' enter any information you want to be publicly visible when you post (you can leave any or all of these sections blank if you want to)
• Make any changes you want to in the 'Preferences' section - if you are not sure what to do leave them as they are
• Click the 'Submit' button at the bottom
• You should get a message saying that an email has been sent to you containing an activation code
• When the email arrives in your inbox click on the link to activate your registration
• You can now log into the forums and post on the public forum 'Talkbach'

As the BFRP forum is restricted to BFRPs only, you will need to follow an additional step to get access to it. After you have activated the account:

• Email Stefan with your forum username and some proof that you are a practitioner (ideally your practitioner PIN, which is on your certificate of registration)
• Wait for us to email you back that the correct permissions have been set

It's not too complicated when you get started, although by trying to spell everything out we may have made it look that way!
