Acupuncture, evidence and professional practice

This 131-page book examines acupuncture through several connected questions: its scientific basis and efficacy, patient safety, and the education and competence of practitioners. It also considers how general practitioners view acupuncture and the extent to which they offer it to patients. Together, these subjects place the treatment in both clinical and professional contexts, including its relationship to conventional medical care. Published in 2000, the book presents acupuncture as a subject for scrutiny across evidence, training and practice, rather than focusing on treatment technique alone.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers researching acupuncture within alternative and complementary medicine
  • Those interested in practitioner training, standards and safety
  • Readers studying general practitioners’ views of acupuncture

Book overview

This book investigates the scientific basis and efficacy of acupuncture and the quality of training and standards of competence in its practitioners. Patients are increasingly asking about CAM alternatives to orthodox medical practices as they fear the side-effects of ever more potent traditional drug therapy.

The book discusses the important issues of safety and the education and training of acupuncture specialists. In addition the book investigates GP's attitudes to acupunture and the extent to which they offer the treatment to their patients.
