Is Acupuncture regulated in Ireland?

By on June 22, 2016 in Column 2

No, the practice of acupuncture is not currently regulated in Ireland and anybody can call themselves an acupuncturist. This is changing however as the Department of Health & Children has established a Consultative Forum with a number of Associations representing Acupuncture/TCM and other practitioners of Complementary Medicine with a view to establishing a framework for regulation and a report is now gone to Government. ACI is the Irish regulatory body for acupuncture and TCM in Ireland.
