Appointment Types & Appointment Numbers

*New Patient (NP) appointment slots = If you are a brand new Patient, and you have never been to our Student Clinic, or if you are a returning Patient that has not been to our Student Clinic this 2024-25 academic year, please book a New Patient (NP) appointment.

Your New Patient appointment will include a full Initial Consultation and a treatment.

This appointment will therefore last up to 2 hours.

We strongly recommend that you discuss booking your Follow-Up appointments with your Student Practitioner during your first visit to our Clinic.

**Follow-Up Patient (FU) appointment slots = If you have already been to our Student Clinic this academic year 2024-25.

Your Follow-Up appointments will last up to 90 minutes.

***All Patients are welcome to have a maximum of 8 appointments with the same Acupuncture Student Practitioner.

After 8 appointments, you will be transferred to a different Student Practitioner for your next 8 appointments, as it is an integral part of their training that our Student Practitioners treat a wide variety of Patients.

****When you attend your New Patient appointment, all Patients are welcome to ask your Student Practitioner to book a maximum of 2 Follow-Up appointments for you, and you will be able to pay for those appointments in the Student Clinic when you attend those 2 Follow-Up appointments. All Patients that wish to book more than 2 Follow-Up appointments are very welcome to do so, by booking online, and by paying in advance for your ongoing Follow-Up appointments.

The Student Clinic - What to Consider

Please note our Student Clinic is on the 2nd floor. There is no passenger lift in our building.

This is an open-plan multi-bed clinic, where cubicles are separated by a curtain.

Please note that we are unable to offer any separate treatment spaces.

Our Student Practitioners frequently incorporate moxa into their treatments.

If you do not wish to have moxa as part of your treatment, please let your Student Practitioner know.

Please remember that, although you may choose to not have moxa as part of your treatment, Patients in adjacent curtained cubicles will be having moxa treatments, so there will always be moxa in the air.

If you feel that you will not be comfortable in a room where moxa is in the air, then you may wish to reconsider whether an open-plan multi-bedded Clinic is the right setting for you.

Your Student Practitioner may be male or female. The fully qualified Supervisor, who may be male or female, might also be required to enter your cubicle. There may be one or two further Students on Clinical Observation training days, and these Students may also be male or female.

Please note: We are not able to guarantee a male or a female Student Practitioner and/or a male or a female Supervisor.

All Patients must book their appointments on this basis, and agree that they accept this information.

Please read and agree to the Informed Consent and GDPR policy when making your appointment booking/s.

Acupuncture requires a Patient to remove or loosen various items of clothing, but your modesty will be preserved at all times.

We do not provide towels to cover Patients during treatments. If you feel you prefer to use a towel/shawl/pashmina during your treatment, please do bring your own towel/shawl/pashmina with you to your appointment.

All Patients must be aged 18 years or over

Appointment costs

New Patient Appointment Cost: £25.00 per treatment
