Booking software for Acupuncturists

The first session takes an hour and a half, the others an hour, and the protocol goes into the diary across six weeks without you opening a paper book.

The challenges facing acupuncturists

  • The first session is twice as long

    Taking a history takes time. One slot length overruns every first appointment.

  • The multi-session protocol

    Three, six, sometimes ten, at regular intervals. Without recurrence it falls apart.

  • You do not get up during a session

    The needles are in, the patient is lying down, the phone rings into the void.

  • The questions asked beforehand

    Current medication, history, pregnancy. Always the same ones, always out loud.

Practical guide: Acupuncturists

  1. Two services: first session and follow-up, with two durations and two prices.
  2. Book the protocol on recurrence from the first session, at whatever rhythm you judge useful.
  3. The preliminary questions in required fields at booking, not at the start of the session.
  4. Fifteen minutes of buffer: inserting and removing needles is not inside the session duration.
  5. Open late afternoon slots: that is where demand is strongest.

Frequently asked questions

Can I have two session lengths?

Yes, as two separate services with their own durations and prices.

How do I book a protocol across several weeks?

With recurring bookings from the first session.

Can I ask health questions before the session?

Yes, with required custom fields.

Is Kagenda a clinical system?

No. It is a diary. It holds no clinical records and is not certified for health data hosting.

What do I need to practise acupuncture in the UK?

Acupuncture is not statutorily regulated: the title is not protected and there is no national register. What there is instead is local licensing, and it is compulsory. Outside London, both the practitioner and the premises must be registered with the council under section 14 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982, with byelaws on hygiene, sterilisation and waste — registered doctors and dentists are exempt, others are not. In a London borough a special treatment licence applies instead, and Wales operates a mandatory special procedures licence. Membership of the British Acupuncture Council is voluntary but is what insurers and GP referrals look for. Sharps disposal follows the clinical waste rules.
