Welcome to CMIR

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has developed over thousands of years and provides a comprehensive, systematic and unique Chinese understanding of the natural world and the treatment of the human body. The Chinese government recognises the value of TCM and has enshrined the promotion of the preservation, development and innovative application into the Constitution.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine Administration of China, the Chinese Embassy in the United Kingdom, the Prince's Charities Foundation (China) and the sponsor CMIR have brought TCM Week to London for the first ever of its kind in the UK. The TCM Week aimed to create a greater understanding of Chinese medicine and cooperation in medicine between China and the UK - allowing British people and those from all over the world to understand the benefits of TCM and how to make it part of their daily lives. There were a serial public talks and seminars given by specialists from China and UK majority of whom were invited by CMIR and China-UK Consortium (CUC) during the TCM Week. A rare exhibition of TCM  was also in palce. Below you can get a glimpse of this historical event.
