More about me

I am a senior first aid instructor for the RFU, and set up and run the New Ash Green Rugby Club treatment centre, a unique multi-disciplinary, multi-bed unit, treating male and female senior and junior sports players.

I’ve taught acupuncture and massage since 1998, and have taught all aspects of Chinese medicine, living anatomy, practitioner development and setting up in practice at colleges in the UK. My areas of special interest are in continuing professional development (CPD) within the healthcare sector, sports injuries, chronic pain, and Microsystems of acupuncture.

As secretary to the Microsystems Acupuncture Regulatory Working Group, MACRWG, a profession specific group exploring, voluntary regulation of Microsystems of acupuncture in the UK, I represented this wing of the acupuncture profession at the Acupuncture Stakeholders Group, a body exploring statutory regulation in the UK. I wrote all of the policies which enabled this group to register with the CNHC, now an Accredited Register under the Professional Standards Authority.

I was until recently on the Governing board of the British Acupuncture Coucil, and was chair of the professional regulatory and standards commitee of the BAcC.
