About Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) CPD and Best Practice

CAM CPD relates directly to CAM Best Practise and provides a useful structured way in which all practitioners can enhance their professionalism and gain valuable insights into for example CAM research skills and public relations abilities. CAM CPD involves useful reflection upon all areas of how you as a CAM practitioner relate to your clients, provide your services, develop through on-going research a greater understanding of your specialist subject and how it relates to other fields of CAM.

The Qi China International CPD CAM Best Practice course will not only provide you with at least 25 hours verified module and portfolio-based CPD, it will provide invaluable best practise guidance in such fields as effecive technical research, medical condition related health and safety, and a friendly and effective CAM 'Questions and Answers Surgery' facility.

With 30 years clinical practise and teaching experience in the Chinese therapeutic arts, course provider Dr Alan Tinnion will through the course modules share his invaluable knowledge, which spans current research project work with NHS university research teams.
