Important Update: Dry Needling PD Requirements

From 1 December 2025, MA members whose scope includes dry needling will have greater flexibility in how you maintain your professional development (PD) currency.

You’ll still need to complete 4 PDPs every 3 years, but these can now be through formal or informal learning — such as mentoring, research, peer discussion, teaching, or traditional courses.

These updates make PD more accessible, practical, and evidence-based, while maintaining the safety and professional standards that underpin great practice.

🔹 One dry needling PD activity (4 PDPs) every 3 years
🔹 Formal or informal — your choice
🔹 Upload your evidence under Dry Needling Documentation in your MA dashboard

🧾 MA has created new templates and guides to make it easier to record, evidence, and upload your PD — all available online.
