📍 UCL — ARA 2026

Great to see so many of you at ARA 2026.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the AcuMedic stand — it was a real pleasure to connect, exchange ideas, and hear about your practice.

If you picked up samples or a discount code, we hope they serve you well in clinic.

And if we didn’t get a chance to speak, feel free to reach out — we’re always here to support your practice.

🤝 Community is where the profession grows.
It’s where standards take shape, ideas are challenged and refined, and clinicians stay connected to something beyond their own practice.

📍On 21 March, you’ll find us at UCL — ready to talk product quality, clinical standards, and the day-to-day decisions that shape practice.

If you’re attending, come and say hello 👋
We’ll have something set aside for those who stop by.

🤝 It’s More Than a Conference. It’s Community.

Yes, we have world-class speakers.
Yes, we have workshops.
Yes, we have CPD.

But the ARA Conference is also about something deeper.

It’s about stepping out of clinic.
It’s about seeing familiar faces and meeting new colleagues.
It’s about conversations over coffee that spark new ideas.

And yes it’s about the food too.
We believe learning is better when you’re well looked after.
That’s why your ticket includes a delicious, nourishing lunch and refreshments throughout the day.

Because great food creates space.

Space to connect.
Space to think.
Space to grow.

Proud to be part of this community.

We’ll be there — will you?

Acupuncture Regulatory Authority is this - COMMUNITY

Not competition.
Not silos.
Not “us and them.”
But community.

The ARA Conference 2026 is bringing together professional bodies, member organisations, educators, specialist associations and practitioners from across the UK and beyond.

Different traditions.
Different special interests.
Different approaches.

One shared purpose: raising standards, strengthening regulation, and protecting the public while advancing our profession.

This is what grown-up collaboration looks like.

It is about unity without uniformity.

Shared voice without losing identity.

Healthcare is evolving rapidly. Regulation is under scrutiny. Public expectations are rising.

If we want all Acupuncture, holistic health backed by science and East Asian medicine to thrive in the next decade, we need to stand together.

The Profession Is Moving. Are You?

✅ Regulation is evolving.
✅ Clinical standards are developing.
✅ The wider conversation around acupuncture continues to shift.

Staying current isn’t just about meeting requirements — it’s about staying aligned with where the profession is heading.

👉 Events like ARA create space for that conversation.

Not just through formal talks and speakers,
but through discussion, debate, and connection with colleagues across the field.

As CMIR and AcuMedic Professional, we believe showing up matters.

We look forward to seeing you there.

✨ This is not just another conference. ✨

The ARA Conference 2026 is a full-day professional experience created to support you as a practitioner, clinically, professionally and personally.

You’ll be surrounded by colleagues who get the work you do the responsibility, the curiosity, the challenges and the rewards. Whether you’re newly qualified or many years into practice, this day is designed to strengthen confidence, renew motivation and remind you why you chose this profession.
Open to ARA members and non-members, the conference welcomes practitioners from across the UK and beyond for a meaningful day of shared learning and professional community.

👉 Running a practice takes more than good treatment.

If January already feels heavy, don’t push harder.

Try this instead:

✅ Space appointments realistically
✅ Protect your focus, not just your time
✅ Deal with small admin early, before it piles up

These aren’t business “extras”.
They’re what make good clinical work sustainable.

Set one thing up properly now.

The rest of the year will feel lighter because of it.

👉 Returning to clinic after a break takes focus.

💡 Before pushing for momentum, give yourself time to re-establish rhythm, sharpen observation, and trust the basics.

Strong practice starts there.
