. . . . is to promote the timeless inspiration of Five Element Acupuncture as a valuable and distinct medical tradition through the highest standards of education, practice and research.
Mike O’Farrell, CEO of the British Acupuncture Council, has repeatedly said that “acupuncture is one of the best kept secrets of modern healthcare.” As one of nine fully accredited teaching institutions offering courses validated by the British Acupuncture Accreditation Board, we participate extensively in the development of the profession in the UK and continue to attract students from around the world.
The distinctness of Five Element Acupuncture arises from its rich and varied history throughout south-east Asia alongside its ongoing establishement as an effective and modern global medical tradition.
We are committed at CTA to a rigourous, collaborative and mulit-disciplinary dialogue as to how and why acupuncture is increasingly chosen by patients. Alongside this dialogue with healthcare colleagues, we are committed to developing the provision of traditional acupuncture, supporting the access of patients to high quality treatment where it is required.
