Abstract
Multi-bed acupuncture clinics--a recent and successful phenomenon in the UK--utilise a new business model for the provision of more affordable acupuncture treatments. Patients benefit from reduced cost of treatment in ex-change for some loss of privacy, and they overwhelmingly report being treated in a communal setting as a positive experience. Practitioners benefit from a highly stimulating and supportive working environment, a significantly increased potential client base and the satisfaction of providing more accessible treatment.
Keywords: Acupuncture, multi-bed clinic, affordable, community.
