This week the British Acupuncture Council been talking about the amazing achievements of traditional acupuncturists, with an awareness week. This video clearly highlights the benefits of proper training.
Firstly, I have completed a degree-level course with over 3500 hours of training, and I also adhere to a gold standard code of practice designed to keep you, the patient, safe.
We are the only acupuncturists with regulation accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA), and not only that they complete 30 hours plus of continuing professional development per year, to keep expanding their knowledge and developing expertise.
I also -Needle. It is NOT acupuncture. It is a soft tissue technique. I was fortunate. I found a course that was held over 2 phases, 6 months apart with assessment to move forward, totally 7 days of study. In the very first hour of my course I was told never to tell my patient I’m an acupuncturist as they require 3,500 hours. I’ve adhered to that my whole career. Some courses last 6 hours. Please, please 🙏 be careful. You deserve the best 👍.
