BAcC professional codes

The British Acupuncture Council is committed to ensuring all patients receive the highest standard of professional care during their acupuncture treatment. Our Code of Professional Conduct governs ethical and professional behaviour, while the Code of Safe Practice sets benchmark standards for best practice in acupuncture. All BAcC members are bound by these codes.


All members are accountable to the BAcC for their professional behaviour and the codes are rigorously enforced. If members break the BAcC's rules they can be fined, admonished or have conditions placed on their practice. In more serious cases, members may be removed or suspended from the BAcC register.

Although we are currently a voluntary self-regulating body, our reputation as the lead body for acupuncture in the UK means any sanctions we impose are taken seriously.

Professional conduct
The Code of Professional Conduct sets out the high standards of personal and professional conduct required of BAcC members.

Concerns about a member's behaviour should be referred to our Ethics Secretary who will explain the formal complaints procedure and collect preliminary details. Complex cases may take some time to resolve because of the need for thorough and impartial investigation.

Conduct enquiries can be sent in confidence to the Ethics Secretary by email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or call 0208 735 1205.

Safe practice

Concerns about the safety of acupuncture can be referred to our Safe Practice Officer who is able to give advice on all aspects of best practice.
