The UK Conference of Chinese Medicine 2025

The British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) and the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine (RCHM) are delighted to be joining forces for their 2025 annual event, bringing you the second UK Conference of Chinese Medicine.

‘Cycles of Life’

From the different phases of life in the patients that we treat, to the ever changing seasons and the interplay of yin and yang. We are always engaging with cycles in our practice of Chinese medicine. It is with that in mind that we are delighted to reveal this year’s conference theme: Cycles of Life. 

We are excited to explore this theme in many ways. From the highly useful workshops on how to tailor our treatments for our patients at different phases of their lives, to the deep insights into classical theory and with the practical sessions as well. This year’s conference has everything you need to refine your cyclical knowledge and reconnect you to the ever-changing Dao!

The significance of the theme to this year’s conference does not stop there. We also go through phases and development of our practice and our community. Our organisations also go through milestones too. This year being the 30th anniversary of the British Acupuncture Council, it is an ideal time for us to come together as a community, reflect on where we have been and where we look forward to go, together, in the future. This conference will also provide many opportunities for each generation, to meet each other, to participate in the long Chinese medicine tradition; passing the torch of the medicine through the ranks of our memberships. From stalwart to student, all are welcome and celebrated.

With all guests in one place over this exciting summer weekend, we will be able to reconnect with old friends and make new ones. There will be a special emphasis in this conference of facilitating all the generations of practitioners to meet and interact with each other. Students and new practitioners are very welcome with longer-standing practitioners interested and excited to meet you, the future of Chinese medicine in the UK.

The location of a conference is key to its success and we are particularly excited about this venue. The lush and vibrant Kents Hill Park Training and Conference Centre in Milton Keynes is centrally located and very accessible. It is situated on top of a hill and has greenery all around. There is a beautiful central common, where qigong classes will be held each morning. The venue offers very reasonably priced onsite bed and breakfast, making it an incredibly affordable event. If all of that was not enough of an enticement, attendance at the venue also gains you access to a fully featured onsite gym complete with swimming pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi! Yes a jacuzzi, a great way to unwind after all the learning and socialising, so bring your swimmers! Take a look at this drone video walk through the venue have on YouTube.
