"summary": "**CertHE Complementary Studies (Herbalism) provides a comprehensive foundation education and training in the principles and practice of clinical herbalism.**\n\nThis incorporates the ‘energetic’ understanding of the cause of illness and the therapeutic actions of medicinal plants as well as the orthodox disciplines of Anatomy and Physiology.\n\nIt is integrative in approach, linking traditional herbal medicine with modern science and holism.\n\nOur teaching methods include a rich mixture of theoretical study, reflection, the use of intuition and practical experience including professional practice in our on-site Complementary Medicine Clinic.\n\nOur aim is to enable graduates to progress to the full degree to become a competent and confident practitioner of clinical herbalism. It does not equip students fully for independent clinical practice.\n\nThe course is delivered by block learning, which means that the attendance requirements for the academic modules are met through eight full three day weekends plus attendance at the Complementary Medicine Clinic for clinical training.\n\nThe course requires 90 hours of clinical training, (achieved during term time, either one day per fortnight or in blocks).\n\nThe course is accredited by the EHTPA (the European Herbal and Traditional Practitioners Association) and NIMH (the National Institute of Medical Herbalists). Graduates are eligible to become members of NIMH and CPP (College of Practitioners of Phytotherapy) or URHP (Unified Register of Herbal Practitioners).",
