Created in 1992 and based in Reading, England the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine is one of the largest colleges of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in the UK. We offer a unique education in the art and science of acupuncture, bringing together the two main styles of treatment in one integrated whole so our graduates, and their patients, can benefit from the wisdom of both. We also offer training in Chinese herbal medicine, and an ongoing programme of continual professional development (CPD) for practitioners. The College clinic, based within our two beautiful Georgian buildings, is open to the public.
