|
July 7, 1995 - A College of Acupuncturists will be established to regulate the profession under the Health Professions Act. As recommended by the Health Professions Council, the scope of practice for acupuncturists will include diagnosis and treatment, as well as adjunctive therapies and diagnostic techniques based on traditional oriental medicine. The new college will set standards of practice and education, develop codes of ethics and review complaints. Health minister Paul Ramsey says the government is committed to introducing initiatives which provide the public with additional safe health care options.
