Will there be supervised practice time on the course?

Yes. 

Acupuncture CPD courses are aimed at enriching and developing practical needling skills.

Plenty of time in each session is made available for supervised practice with one to one practical feedback on improving techniques.

(In addition, all skills taught on the Postgraduate CPD programmes allow time to study the theoretical basis of the skills, with patient demonstrations and close observation of techniques, discussion and question time).
