The British Medical Acupuncture Society runs foundation, intermediate and supplementary courses for regulated healthcare professionals. BMAS FOUNDATION COURSES Foundation Courses last four or five days, spread either over two weekends or over a working week. Whilst the historical aspects and traditional philosophy of acupuncture are discussed, the Foundation Course concentrates on a neurophysiological and evidence-based approach to the use of acupuncture as a technique following orthodox clinical diagnosis. Safe and effective needling are key features of this practical course, and the healthcare professionals attending should leave with the skills required to apply simple acupuncture techniques within their practice. c Cardiff: 20–21 June and 18–19 July 2009 c Glasgow: 5–6 September and 3–4 October 2009 c Central London: 14–18 September 2009 (one week course) c Birmingham: 17–18 October and 14–15 November 2009 c Slough: 7–8 November and 5–6 December 2009 BMAS POST-FOUNDATION DAYS Post-foundation days are one-day courses designed for anyone who has attended one of the BMAS Foundation Courses.
