Andrea is a member of The Association of Acupuncture Clinicians (AAC), is a professional association formed in 2020 by a group of practising Degree Level qualified Acupuncturists. During the first covid-19 lockdown in April 2020 AAC through lobbying managed to change the status of Acupuncture Practitioners with the ONS (Office for National Statistics) from Complementary Therapists to Healthcare Practitioners. This meant that we were considered Primary healthcare workers and thus allowed to return to our clinics. We returned to work within 1 days whilst other acupuncture bodies restricted their members’ clinics.
