To reflect our commitments to good practices in TCM research and development, speakers will include representatives from industry that are bringing new medicines to market based on traditional Chinese medicine as well as those studying different aspects of quality control. This will include the need to embrace new techniques and monographs for monitoring the control of granules entering the trade. Other speakers will provide a summary of the increased knowledge about the chemistry, pharmacology and safety of TCM plants and fungi.\u00a0 The first two days of the conference (4th<\/sup>\u00a0and 5th<\/sup>\u00a0July) will at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew just outside London.\u00a0 Clinical Studies (herbal) and Acupuncture sessions will be held at London South Bank University (6th<\/sup>July) and will include methodology, evidence, effectiveness, policy and health care provision. The conference will be restricted to about 200 people and there will be no parallel sessions.\u00a0 The conference aims to bring together a multi-disciplinary audience to hear talks from an international group of speakers that will address key questions associated with TCM.<\/p>\nWe hope you will be able to attend the conference and share your views as to what needs to be done to optimise the benefits that traditional Chinese medicine could contribute to our wellbeing.\u00a0 We will be accepting posters and hope that young scientists will take this opportunity to showcase their findings.<\/p>\n
