My skills & training
I received my Licentiate in Acupuncture (Lic Ac) from The London College of Traditional Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine after a 3 year degree course (validated by the University of Portsmouth). The degree course incorporated Traditional Chinese Medicine and comprehensive Western medical theory and practice.
I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council (MBAcC) the largest body of professional acupuncturists in the UK. This membership gives you the following assurances about me as an acupuncture practitioner:
- BSc degree level training in traditional acupuncture and Chinese medicine (with comprehensive western biomedical science modules).
- Compliance with current UK health and safety legislation
- Full medical malpractice and public liability insurance cover
- Mandatory individual continuing professional development (CPD)
- Compliance with BAcC Code of Safe Practice and Code of Professional Conduct
In addition to this you can be sure that all personal information is treated in the strictest confidence in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1988.
I have recently undertaken a course in auricular (ear) acupuncture and another in cosmetic and facial acupuncture. I also regularly attend seminars and lectures. Recent topics have included obstetrics, gynaecology, musculoskeletal problems, and research within acupuncture.
