Avicenna Seminars

We regularly organise lectures, postgraduate classes and the Dermatology Diploma Course through Avicenna Seminars.
These events  are practice-oriented and geared towards solving real problems encountered in every day clinical environments.
The next Dermatology Diploma Course is due to start in February 2009 and we are taking bookings now.

Avicenna Forum

We also have a forum for practitioners on our website (sorry not for patients), where registered practitioners are invited to contribute to topical discussions relating to Chinese Medicine. This should be of great benefit to all who wish to get involved as it helps us share our knowledge and experience to better help our patients.
We have just started this forum, so please help make it a success by registering for membership and contributing regularly.

Mazin Al-Khafaji

Mazin is widely recognised as one of the leading experts in Chinese Medicine, and is well known for his successful and innovative approaches to clinical practice. He specialises in dermatology and has built up a considerable reputation as a clinician and a teacher.
He was brought up in the Middle East and the UK, where he began his studies in acupuncture and modern and classical Chinese in 1979. In 1983, he attended the post-graduate course in acupuncture in Nanjing, and followed this with intensive studies in modern and medical Chinese in Taiwan. His fluency in Chinese earned him the first Sino-British scholarship ever awarded for Chinese Medicine and he enrolled at The Shanghai College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

He graduated as Doctor of Chinese Medicine in 1987 specialising in Internal Medicine, and on his return to England established a successful practice on the South coast. In 1991 he returned to China for further studies, and has since established The Skin Clinic, specialising in the treatment of dermatological and allergic disorders. In 1998 he fulfilled his long-term ambition and founded Avicenna Centre of Chinese Medicine.
