The
Institute of Chinese Medicine: a centre of excellence in the
treatment, research, education and dispensing of Traditional
Chinese Medicine and therapies.
Established
in 1990, the Institute is one of the foremost centres of research
into the many ways in which Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
can work both in conjunction with, and as an alternative to,
conventional Western medicine.
The Institute works together with
the major London teaching hospitals, undertaking joint research
programs, as well as offering courses for GPs (as an
introduction to TCM), for qualified Chinese medicine
practitioners (to increase and improve their skills) and,
finally, for patients (emphasizing the importance of preventive
medicine).
To achieve these objectives, the Institute employs a team of
the most accomplished specialists in the various fields, including
highly skilled practitioners from mainland China.
Based
in the centre of London, the Institute offers a range of clinical
services, from acupuncture, through to the management of
conditions from skin disorders and weight
problems, to male sexual dysfunction, as well as dispensing
services for herbal treatments.
Also available are free seminars
on a range of medical disorders, an unrivalled library of books
on open access to researchers and the general public, courses
and newsletters.
