NADA-UK Training
See Training Dates NADA-UK training follows the format of the successfully accredited five point protocol training developed by Nada US at the Lincoln Memorial Hospital. The training is both experiential and didactic and includes input on the basic theory of chinese medicine and its relevance to substance misuse. Health & Safety issues, exposure control, clean needle technique and needle management practice are a vital aspect of the training with clinical supervision under the guidance of registered NADA-UK trainers. Only single use, disposable needles are used. Upon successful completion of the course, trainees are recommended for membership by the registered trainer to NADA-UK. A permission to practise certificate is issued by the trainer upon completion of the course, a certificate will be issued within ten days . An annual registration fee of £40 is required payable to NADA-UK. It is the responsibility of the individual and the organization to ensure that appropriate insurance is put in place.
