Event overview
We are thrilled to announce the UK Conference of Chinese Medicine 2025, jointly organised by the BAcC and RCHM

Kents Hill Park, Milton Keynes
Saturday 7 & Sunday 8 June 2025
The UK Conference of Chinese Medicine 2025, hosted by the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) and the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine (RCHM), will be on the theme Cycles of Life. This theme ties into the cycles we see in Chinese medicine, from the different stages of life for our patients to the changing seasons and the balance of yin and yang. The conference promises a great mix of hands-on workshops and talks on how to adjust our treatments for all ages, plus deep dives into Chinese medicine theory and practical diagnosis.
We’re delighted to have Elisabeth Rochat de La Vallée as our keynote speaker, who’ll share her insights on the character Jie and the phases of pregnancy. The conference will also cover a range of topics, from treating children with ADHD to supporting older patients through menopause and complex health conditions. You’ll find plenty of practical advice, including diagnostic sessions and a chance to learn how Chinese medicine theory applies to everyday clinic challenges. There’ll also be engaging panel discussions on paediatrics, geriatrics, and even how to approach retirement as a practitioner.
The conference will take place at the beautiful Kents Hill Park Training and Conference Centre in Milton Keynes, a peaceful spot with plenty of greenery. The venue offers affordable accommodation, plus fantastic facilities like a gym, swimming pool, and sauna to help you unwind. It’s a great chance to connect with fellow practitioners – whether you’re a student or have years of experience – and to celebrate the BAcC’s 30th anniversary with a celebration dinner. It’s all about learning, sharing, and looking forward to the future of Chinese medicine together.
