THE BRITISH ACUPUNCTURE COUNCIL (BAcC)
Health, Safety and Professional Conduct
As a member of the BAcC, I am bound by strict Codes of Safe Practice and Professional Conduct.
These codes ensure that patients are offered the highest standards of professional care during their acupuncture treatment.INTRODUCING THE BAcC
Traditional acupuncture has a successful 2,000 year history of treatment based on the unique nature and balance of each individual. Today this is known as holistic medicine. Back then it was simply founded on the understanding that treating the person, and not the illness alone, is the best way to encourage and maintain long-term health.
The BAcC is committed to carrying the spirit and integrity of this ancient tradition into the twenty-first century. Traditional acupuncture is able to adapt to the needs of modern healthcare while still retaining its essence. This is what makes it one of the most popular complementary therapies in the UK today.
Members of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) have completed a thorough training of at least three years in traditional acupuncture and biomedical sciences appropriate to the practice of acupuncture. They carry the letters MBAcC after their name. The BAcC maintains common standards of education, ethics, discipline and practice to ensure the health and safety of the public at all times. Members are covered by Medical Malpractice and Public/ Products Liability insurance.
