Today we are excited to announce another amazing NHS integrated project launching soon in Derbyshire, led by BAcC member Kat Love.

The 5 month pilot will be held in a GP setting within Derbyshire Dales PCN and treats patients for chronic pain, headache and migraine. These are all conditions for which acupuncture is currently recommended in the NICE guidelines.

Kat and her colleagues facilitated their ICB (Integrated Care Board) to add the title 'acupuncturist' to the list of roles permitted under the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS).

This was a crucial factor in securing funding from the Primary Care Network, and it now means that the GP practice's patients can benefit from traditional acupuncture, delivered by BAcC degree-level trained and PSA regulated acupuncturists.

Well done to Kat and the team! We are very proud of our members bringing the best quality acupuncture services to their communities.

As part. of our Acupuncture Awareness Week 2025 launch of 'Collaborate with Confidence: why chose a British Acupuncture Council acupuncturist?' Alex Jacobs CEO has been featured in another leading medical publication 'Healthcare Today'.

There is a growing crisis in care, and provision for mental health services in the UK's NHS, Alex explains how acupuncture can be incorporated into primary care mental health pathways and asks whether greater utilisation of accredited and regulated allied health care professionals like acupuncturists could be part of the solution?

At the British Acupuncture Council, we certainly think so – and we have the evidence to support it.

If you haven't already, why not find out more about our a new digital resource.

This new guide aims to provide the definitive evidence GPs and allied healthcare professionals need to refer patients confidently. It's all about driving up standards in care for patients, with a call to doctors to broaden their understanding of acupuncture. You can find it at https://acupuncture.org.uk/aaw-2025referral-page-1/
