Whether you are interested in taking the first steps towards veterinary acupuncture or you are an established acupuncturist looking to further their skills, the ABVA has something for you.

Taking place at venues around the UK, our courses are taught by lecturers with a wealth of experience and a real passion for their subject. Teaching is friendly, informal and contains a practical content far higher than your average CPD. They are great value too!

Please note that you must be a qualified veterinary surgeon and a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons to attend an ABVA course.

Upcoming Courses

ABVA Foundation Course in Veterinary Acupuncture
22nd-24th April 2024

Location: Canine Partners, Osgathorpe, Loughborough, LE12 9SR

Price: Existing ABVA members £1200
Non-members £1300

Delegates qualify for 1 year free membership on completion of the whole course.

NEW COURSE DATES: 22nd-24th April 2024 with online material avaible 6 weeks in advance.

The ABVA have developed a hybrid Foundation Course featuring a combination of online materials and in-person teaching.  The face-to-face teaching will take place over three days  at Canine Partners, Loughborough.

 

The ABVA Foundation Course is primarily a practical one for veterinary surgeons who are new
to acupuncture or those who wish to refresh their knowledge. The information we give you
stands firmly on a Western clinical diagnosis and an understanding of acupuncture’s
neurophysiological mechanisms; but to broaden your experience we would like to introduce you to some of the historical and traditional concepts from which this ancient form of medicine
evolved. This is just the beginning of this fascinating subject.

NOTE ON ELECTROACUPUNCTURE MACHINES: in an early version of the 2023 newsletter, an advert stated that an electroacupuncture machine was included in the course fee. This is a typing error and is not the case - we apologise for any confusion caused. Recommendations for machines to purchase are available on request but these do not need to be bought in advance of the course.

  • Practical sessions in small animal or equine electroacupuncture depending on availability of animals.
