The British Medical Acupuncture Society was formed in 1980 as an association of medical practitioners interested in acupuncture. Since 2002, membership has been open to most statutory regulated healthcare professionals. In 2017 this was extended to healthcare professionals who are voluntary regulated, provided the regulator is overseen by the PSA and the professional body considers acupuncture with the scope of practice There are now over 1,900 members who use acupuncture in primary or secondary care settings.
The BMAS promotes the use of acupuncture as a therapy following orthodox medical diagnosis by suitably trained practitioners. The course will be held by Dr Mike Cummings who is Medical Director of the British Medical Acupuncture Society (BMAS). Mike is an Honorary Clinical Specialist at the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine, which is part of the University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, where he supports acupuncture services. John said he is really looking forward to the course and its application in clinic.
