Acupuncture General Update

Prior to the face-to-face component of the course, you will be required to complete a series of safety lessons on our online platform, covering contraindications, precautions and adverse events, as well as revisiting needle insertion fundamentals and pain physiology.

Having undertaken the online learning, the face-to-face component will be a fully practical workshop consist covering a wide range of needling skills across the knee, elbow, neck, low back and achilles tendon, with plenty of opportunity to discuss specific case histories and other regions of the body.

Following the face-to-face session, further online learning is provided in the form of case studies and multi choice quizzes to help consolidate your learning, making sure you feel confident to apply the learning activities immediately.

This course is for healthcare professionals who have already taken a foundation course in acupuncture but are now looking to complete CPD hours and advance their skills and understanding further.

With experience delivering this course both in the UK and worldwide across the last 10 years, we’ve had the pleasure of helping a wide range of professionals consolidate their existing knowledge and move towards a more focused approach to needling techniques and clinical reasoning – from Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Chiropractors and Sports Therapists, to Physicians, Nurses and Occupational Therapists.
