Have you ever thought about the patients who need so much regular acupuncture that you just cannot deliver it to them? This may be a cost issue for them in the private sector or a clinic time constraint for you if you work in the NHS.
Having learnt the ins and outs of self-acupuncture you will be surprised how you can attract new patients and manage your clinic list at the same time!
Max: I work exclusively in the private sector and have patients seeking me out for the very reason that I teach self-acupuncture.
Graham: Self-acupuncture is particularly useful for patients in palliative care and those with chronic illnesses. Teaching a patient to treat themselves or a partner to give acupuncture at home enables them to manage their own symptoms. It increases self-reliance and reduces dependence on medical professionals.
Do come and learn this new skill in a friendly, relaxed setting with plenty of one-to-one instruction at the BMAS Self/Home Acupuncture Course on Friday 21 October.
There will also be demonstrations from patients who have found self-acupuncture useful. They will talk about their experiences including beneficial effects and the challenges they have encountered. This is a good opportunity in a small group setting to ask questions and learn directly from the patients.
Best wishes
Max Forrester and Graham Leng
