COVID-19 Operating Procedures

As we cautiously approach a return towards a 'new normal', we have made some changes to our operating procedures to adapt to these constantly-evolving circumstances. These new procedures are in line with the latest scientific and medical advice, as well as recommendation from ATCM (The Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture UK). Your safety is our priority, and we want to do our utmost to ensure that our clinic meet these high safety standards when you visit. As such, we are delighted to share with you our latest operating procedures.
