What we do

The British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) is the leading self-regulatory body for the practice of traditional acupuncture in the UK. We are a member-led organisation, governed by an elected executive committee and driven by a specialist staff team.

We provide our members with a wide range of services to facilitate their practice. We also act for the traditional acupuncture profession as a whole:

expanding awareness of traditional acupuncture and how it works
representing the interests of fully qualified traditional acupuncturists
establishing and maintaining the highest professional standards of practice for acupuncture in the UK
overseeing and accrediting acupuncture education to ensure excellence in training
funding evidence-based clinical research on the benefits of traditional acupuncture
promoting evidence-based research to the public, the media and other healthcare providers
working with the Department of Health towards the statutory regulation of acupuncture in the UK
promoting integrated healthcare and contributing to the development of national healthcare policy
