TCM Fertility Clinic & TCM HealthCare

The company - what we do and who we are

Mission

The mission of TCM HealthCare is to provide and promote high quality Traditional Chinese Medicine and other complementary therapies within a framework of integrated health care.

To this end, we have made a conscious decision not to have any high street shops. We work primarily with western medical colleagues or at NHS hospitals. We also run a specialist fertility clinic in Harley Street. We conducted research and consultany work for Department of Health in the field of complementary medicine.


Who are we?

TCM HealthCare is managed by professionals who have a good understanding of the health services in the UK. We work with western medical colleagues and most of our clinics are based at GP practices and NHS hospitals.
