FSNUK Annual Conference and First Dan-Rank Competition Successfully Held in London
11/12/25
The UK FSNAE successfully hosted the 2025 Annual Conference and the inaugural FSN Dan-Rank Competition in London. This landmark event brought together practitioners from across the UK and Europe, marking a significant milestone in the international development and localisation of Fu’s Subcutaneous Needling (FSN) medicine.
40 FSN clinicians, scholars, and rehabilitation professionals attended the conference, engaging in focused discussions on clinical practice, continuing training, and the introduction of the new FSN rank certification system.
Council Member Reports: Progress Achieved and Strategic Direction Ahead
The conference opened with a comprehensive report delivered by the Association’s president and council members. Key achievements over the past year included:
- Multiple online and in-person clinical and theoretical training courses
- Continuous expansion of Association membership
- Successful organisation of the UK’s first FSN Dan-rank competition
Council members also outlined priorities for the coming year: further refining the rank promotion framework, expanding the scale of professional training, and strengthening academic collaboration to foster FSN development across Europe.
Rank Promotion Competition: Advancing Standards and Professional Excellence
A major highlight of the event was the FSN Rank Promotion Competition, conducted under the standardised assessment criteria of the International FSN Rank Committee. The competition consisted of:
- Written theory examination
- Practical skills assessment, including affected-muscle palpation, FSN point localisation, needle-insertion technique, and reperfusion technique
- Clinical diagnosis and treatment planning.
Six practitioners participated in the theory tests. Four advanced to the clinical assessment. After precritical assessment, three successfully achieved FSN Level 1 status. They will receive official certification from the International FSN Rank Committee at the upcoming national FSN conference in Egypt.
Hands-On Exchange Strengthening Clinical Skills
A dedicated hands-on practice and treatment session allowed participants to experience each other’s techniques firsthand.
This interactive exchange broadened clinical perspectives and deepened understanding of FSN practice across different healthcare settings.
One participant remarked with humour:
“I didn’t just come to attend—I brought my neck and back pain with me. And I truly left with my pain-free results!”
