It’s good to have a lot of patients receiving acupuncture in the same space at the same time: it’s not an absence of privacy, it’s the presence of a collective energetic field that makes treatments more powerful. — Lisa Rohleder, Working Class Acupuncture, Portland, OR, USA

What ACMAC does:

One of ACMAC’s main aims is to support acupuncture practitioners in the process of setting up and running multibed clinics.

We aim to achieve this by:

  • Hosting regular classes in the UK on “how to set up and run a multibed clinic”.
  • Hosting conferences, thus far in the UK and Australia, to hear the opinions of world-class speakers, and to share our wisdom, experiences and vision for the future within our community. For information on all events, please keep an eye on our News and Events page.
  • Providing information and research on various aspects of multibed practice on our Library. You will find links to relevant books, websites and other Organisations. If you know of any information or research that you believe would enrich our Library, please contact Charlotte on info@acmac.net.

ACMAC sends out a regular Newsletter, with information on events, new clinics and all sorts of other news. If you would like to be added to our mailing list, please email info@acmac.net.

What ACMAC does not do:

ACMAC does not wish to duplicate roles, and therefore costs, of national regulatory bodies. For example, ACMAC does not regulate practitioners or clinics apart from requesting that they offer acupuncture treatment in a community setting at affordable prices. We ask that practitioners follow safe practice and ethical rules laid down by their national regulatory bodies, such as the British Acupuncture Council. or the Chinese Medicine Board of Australia.
