Is Acupuncture Safe?

Marcus James is a member of the British Acupuncture Council, which means that he has had extensive training in acupuncture, and the relevant biomedical sciences, and that he practices a recognised and traditional style of diagnosis and treatment.

There is currently no government legislation as yet in the UK and anyone can actually practice. BAcC accreditation guarantees that practitioners have achieved a high standard of practice and constantly adhere to Standards of education, ethics, practice and discipline to ensure the health and safety of patients.

Members of the British Acupuncture Council are bound by strict Codes of Safe Practice, Professional Conduct and Disciplinary Procedures, ensuring the highest standards of professional care to patients. These Standards have been drawn up in conjunction with the Department of Health and a Public Health Consultant.

Can I still give blood after having acupuncture?

People who have acupuncture by any practitioner registered with the British Acupuncture Council will still be eligible to give blood through the National Blood Service.
