Ross’ Chinese medical studies started in 1996, after he had studied Ayurvedic medicine for a number of years. He has practiced acupuncture in Britain and Spain and recently spent three years treating inpatients at The London Clinic’s Cancer centre. Over the last 8 years, he has developed a post graduate teaching clinic in North London, which has pioneered an apprenticeship model of teaching, based on clinics in China and Japan. Ross’ own ongoing study of Chinese medicine has centred upon the study of the classics of Chinese Medicine. This has been the time-honoured method of deepening one’s understanding and practice within the tradition, as these classic texts form the foundation for everything that has come after them. In herbal medicine, this is the Shanghan Lun, or ‘Treatise on Cold Damage’, and for acupuncture, philosophy and theory this is the Huangdi Neijing, or Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic. As well as being passionate about raising the standards of Chinese medicine, Ross has an interest in seeing Chinese Medicine find its way into the front line of healthcare. He enjoys working alongside colleagues from other disciplines and believes that a collaborative effort to improve the standards of healthcare is the way forward.
