This site is where you will find the most helpful and representative information about all aspects of acupuncture and particularly traditional acupuncture as practised in the United Kingdom.
Members practise a recognised and traditional style of diagnosis and treatment therapy.
This type of therapy has been developed and refined over 2000 years in China and provides patients with an holistic approach to maintaining health and managing illness. There is no government legislation in the UK covering acupuncture at present. This means that anyone, including doctors, physiotherapists etc. can give acupuncture treatment without any training whatsoever. It was unanimously agreed by the members that one body should represent and govern professionally qualified traditional acupuncturists in all aspects of their work. The BAcC maintains standards of education, ethics, discipline and Codes of Practice to ensure the health and safety of the public at all times.
