I am very pleased to welcome you to the RCCM website.

The RCCM is a charity dedicated to developing and promoting high quality research in Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM).  You can find more about who we are and what we aim to do in the About the RCCM section of the site.                                                                                                                 

The RCCM works with the CAM professions and CAM researchers to disseminate knowledge and evidence on safe and effective complementary medicine in the context of an integrated approach to health care.

Our vision is to see safe and effective CAM therapies made available on the NHS.

The ever increasing cost of chronic disease will require support from government and society, as well as guidance on the range of healthcare choices that are available to help improve public health. High quality research is increasingly important within our evidenced based society for health care practitioners and the public alike so they can make well informed decisions. 

We are proud of the progress and achievements the RCCM has made since its inception in 1983 - details of which you will find on this site - but more needs to be done! The new web-site will enable us to provide a range of features and information sources not previously possible that we hope you will find useful. A good example is the CAMEOL Database, the link to which you will find in the menu options on the left hand side.

For researchers, there is a Resources for CAM Research section. You can also sign up to join our active CAM Research Network (CAMRN) via the box on the left.

We welcome feedback on the new website (through info@rccm.org.uk) as well as your thoughts on ways in which you think it might be improved.

Finally, as a charity we are always grateful for any donations to support our work. Our Making a Donation page gives further details of the funds we hope to raise.
