Acupuncture Links and useful contacts for all the stuff this site can’t include or it would get too big to manage!

Organisations

Acupuncture Courses for Professionals

The British Acupuncture Accreditation Board, (BAAB) an independent body, is supported by the British Acupuncture Council.

To qualify as an acupuncturist and be listed as a member of the British Acupucuncture Council you now need a degree. This lasts three years and includes practical, supervised clinical work as well as lots of theory. The BAAB accredits the following colleges, all of which are taking on new students:

Learning the Chinese language in Scotland

Learning Chinese is not easy! Chinese is based on images and the intonation is completely different to that of European languages.

Also, there are two main languages, (Cantonese and Mandarin) which sound completely different to the extent that if you speak one you probably can’t understand the other, but they both use the same written texts. The script is also quite different with thousands of ‘letters’ (although they aren’t letters in the sense of the 26 letters of the European alphabet).

However, the Chinese are very friendly!
