The statutory regulation of the acupuncture profession: the report of the Acupuncture Regulatory Working Group

This Report is the product of a year's work of partnership, detailed discussions and debate that has taken place in the Acupuncture Regulatory Working Group. It outlines options for the regulation of the acupuncture profession in England that could be extended to the other countries of the United Kingdom. The Report will be sent to Ministers at the Department of Health where it will form the basis of a document for wider consultation.
