British Acupuncture Council Member
British Acupuncture Council members are trained for a minimum of 3 years and must adhere to strict codes of practice, making it the only acupuncture organisation recognised by the Professional Standards Authority. Acupuncture is unfortunately unregulated as a profession, allowing anyone to set up as an acupuncturist with any level of training. Most physiotherapists, doctors, osteopaths, chiropractors..etc who use acupuncture, do so using 'dry needling' techniques without Chinese Medicine theory and therefore have a more limited scope in terms of conditions they can treat. BAcC members are also bound by patient confidentiality rules. Phyllida graduated from the London College of Traditional Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in 2007, with a Degree and Licentiate in Acupuncture. She is a member of the British Acupuncture Council (MBAcC) and as such is listed via the Professional Standards Authority accredited register. Her subsequent studies have included use of obstetric acupuncture for preganancy and childbirth with Debra Betts, a renowned expert in this field, and further training in the treatment of musculoskeletal problems, particularly in the use of electro-acupuncture for pain relief. Prior to moving to Hampshire, she ran a clinic in Wimbledon Park, West London. |
