News: Trip to China
April 2011
In September 2010 Jackie and eighteen other practitioners took part in a study tour to China with Zita West.
The trip enabled Jackie to observe how acupuncture works in China where it is used as mainstream medicine.
The group where given an insight into the origins and practical applications of Five Element Acupuncture. Jackie was able to visit hospitals and observe how acupuncture is routinely used alongside Western medicine. She found it fascinating to see acupuncture being used to treat almost every ailment and condition, and how integrated its use is with Western medicine - particularly regarding the treatment of fertility issues.
Jackie Fairweather is a member of The British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) and abides by the BAcC’s codes of ethics and safe practice. These cover strict requirements with regard to hygiene and the disposal of needles and other equipment. Only disposable singleuse sterile needles are used.
All members of the BAcC are covered by a Medical Malpractice and Public Liability insurance.
