The Chinese Medical Council (CMC) was set up in 2003 as an umbrella group for the Chinese medicine sector to develop unified standards of practice and conduct in Chinese medicine and to speak with one voice regarding the regulation of Chinese medicine. In doing so, we aim to promote the development of Chinese medicine in the UK.
The CMC comprises of different professional organisations and represents these member organisations during discussions with the Department of Health about the current and future safe and effective practice of Chinese medicine in the UK. Member organisations are signed to a Joint Voluntary Register and follow CMC guidelines regarding professional conduct, disciplinary procedures, reaccreditation and continuing professional development. The CMC is happy to involve all other Chinese medicine associations who share our aspirations for a unified movement to build assurance, promote and support Chinese medicine in the EU.

Any professional organisation that represents practitioners of Chinese medicine can apply for membership with the CMC.
The CMC pledges to represent the interests of all its member organisations during all discussions with the government regarding Chinese medicine practice in the UK and to collaborate and coordinate with the government on Chinese medicine legislation. It aims to promote the development of Chinese medicine in the UK within mainstream medicine and to ensure its safe and effective practice.
Once accepted for membership, member organisations should ensure their codes of conduct, disciplinary procedures and requirements for continuing professional development follow CMC guidelines.
Please be aware that the CMC does not accept applications from individuals. If you would like your professional organisation to be recognised by the CMC, please ask the organisation to contact CMC directly.
