Since 15 February 2013, acupuncturists like Lorna Withers who are registered members of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) have been able to display the Accredited Voluntary Register quality mark, a sign that they meet the Professional Standards Authority’s robust standards.
Nick Pahl, CEO for the BAcC said:
“The quality mark will give extra peace of mind for anyone looking for an acupuncturist, letting them know that anyone who holds the mark is committed to high standards. The BAcC is pleased to offer the quality mark to acupuncturists that meet the far reaching standards of our register, as approved by the Professional Standards Authority.”
Accreditation means that the BAcC’s register meets the Professional Standards Authority’s high standards in governance, standard-setting, education and training, management, complaints and information.
