The Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture UK (ATCM) is the largest regulatory body in the UK for the practice of traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), mainly including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and tuina - Chinese therapeutic massage. Currently, there are over 700 professionally qualified TCM practitioners registered with ATCM. All full members of ATCM are qualified to practise acupuncture as part of their TCM practice, and they practise the authentic form of traditional acupuncture.
Actively engaged in academic study, research, and clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine, including acupuncture, Chinese medicine and Tuina, ATCM has also been working together with the Department of Health and Health Professions Council to establish a statutory regulation in the UK for TCM practitioners. ATCM stands in a unique position in the United Kingdom's healthcare system and plays a crucial role in communication between traditional Chinese and western medicine. With its high professional standards, ATCM aims to establish a strong presence in the medical and patient communities, while attracting a growing number of Chinese medicine practitioners to join us.
