Following the publication of an update to the NICE guidelines for 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬, questions were raised in Parliament about the waiting times for treatment and diagnosis for this often debilitating condition.

We flag the 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 pointing to what accredited acupuncturists see in their clinical practise, that 𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬.

The British Acupuncture Council asks why, despite this evidence, acupuncture wasn't included in the NICE review? We also call for more funding for research into acupuncture for endometriosis so that people commissioning healthcare can have the evidence they need to be able to give patients access to the most effective treatments.

The British Acupuncture Council is the only independently accredited professional governing body for Traditional Acupuncturists in the UK.

The British Acupuncture Council is the 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 UK membership organisation for Acupuncturists that has standards independently checked by the government backed Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This standard guarantees that you will find an acupuncturist who is
a) degree level trained and
b) subject to independently verified standards of good governance

This means that when you choose a BAcC member you know they are independently assessed to be well trained, safe and subject to ongoing professional standards.

Acupuncture and chronic pain.

⚡️Traditional acupuncture can work for anyone, at any stage of life. Why not talk to a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) about how they can treat you and your whole body, not just your symptoms.

📋BAcC Members are recognised by over 20 different private health providers.

🥼Acupuncture on the NHS is recommended by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) for managing chronic pain, migraines and
headaches. The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) also recommends acupuncture for chronic pain, including lower back pain and knee pain.

The aim of the British Acupuncture Council is to establish the highest standards of professional practice for the traditional acupuncture profession in the UK.

We are committed to ensuring all patients receive the highest standard of professional care during their acupuncture treatment. Visit our website to find your local highly trained practitioner.

Today we're sharing a randomized clinical trial (RCT) on Acupuncture for Chronic Radiation-Induced Xerostomia in Head and Neck Cancer.

Authors of the recently published study conclude "acupuncture is minimally invasive and inexpensive, has a low incidence of adverse effects, and was found to be superior to standard care in treating chronic radiation-induced xerostomia (RIX) after treatment in this large phase 3 trial".

More studies are needed but early data from this trial is promising for patients with long-term effects of cancer treatment.

For those interested in learning more about Integrated Oncology then join us at the first ever UK Conference of Chinese Medicine in June, to discover more from speakers Beverley de Valois and Mandy Brass, who will be sharing their experiences of working in this influential area
