The dnp training programme is accredited by the APA (Australian Physiotherapy Association) and satisfies the training requirements of the APA Acupuncture and Dry Needling Group (ADNG) as outlined in the ASAP Guidelines for Safe Acupuncture and Dry Needling Practice (2007).
The courses meet NZCP (New Zealand College of Physiotherapy) accreditation standards and,when presented in New Zealand, the PAANZ (Physiotherapy Acupuncture Association of New Zealand) guidelines and their relevance to practice of dry needling in New Zealand are discussed.

Many of you who have completed the dnp training programme have shown interest in directly addressing the system at a constitutional and systemic level .
The APA traditional acupuncture course has been mentioned by me on dnp courses and despite having existed in one form or another for many years, has not been run in the recent past.
It is now up and running again and whilst it will eventually appear on the APA continuing education web page you can contact the courses inspirational organiser and presenter Paula Raymond-Yacoub now via her website www.integrativeacupuncture.com.au (this website is in the early stages of being built and in the meantime Paula can be contacted by emailing paula@integrativeacupuncture.com.au)
Paula will be happy to provide you with further information and future course dates.
