Practitioner clinic
We run two clinics here at the college. The teaching clinic and our practitioner clinic.
There are seven fully qualified practitioners with a wealth of experience and expertise.
People come to one of our clinics with a variety of complaints. Often people will come for treatment even when nothing is medically wrong, they just want to feel better in themselves.
When you come for treatment your acupuncturist will spend considerable time asking you questions and getting to know you. In this way you will receive a treatment that not just aims to relieve you of your symptoms but also to help you feel better. Frequently patients will comment, "I’m feeling better in myself" which refers to such things as increased energy and vitality, greater enjoyment of life and greater confidence.
Some people come for preventative treatment that is aimed at maintaining health and improving a sense of wellbeing.
All the practitioners are members of the British Acupuncture Council or the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine and have been practising for many years.
