About Me

Richard graduated from Middlesex University with a BSc (Hons) in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This five year degree course was jointly run by Middlesex University and Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

This was the first collaborative professional programme in TCM to be validated in the UK and the curriculum was based on the format of training received at the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. The course included five months full time clinical practice in two of the largest hospitals in Beijing, China. The placement in China consisted of time spent covering a wide range of areas, such as cardiology, neurology, respiratory, gynaecology, dermatology, traumatology and paediatrics.

Richard gained his clinical experience of Acupuncture and Herbal medicine at The Asante Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (London) and The Whittington Hospital Pain Clinic (London), where he treated many patients under the supervision of some of the leading TCM practitioners in the UK.
