Dr Siu Lun Chan – MD BSc MSc MCMIR

Personal Statement

“I used to get sick frequently as a child, with constant colds and sore throats. But then, my mother took me to a Chinese Medicine doctor who prescribed Chrysanthemum, Honeysuckle, and several other TCM herbs, and my immune system improved significantly. When I saw the opportunity to study Chinese Medicine at university, I knew this was the path I wanted to take.”

— Dr Chan

Qualifications

Dr Chan earned his Bachelor’s degree in Chinese Medicine from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2008, completing a rigorous 5-year program.

This culminated in a 2-year placement at the Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, where he honed advanced Chinese Medicine techniques and gained expertise in Western medical diagnostics.

Experience

Dr Chan brings 15 years of hands-on experience in Chinese Medicine.

He began his career in 2008 as a junior doctor at Tung Wah Hospital in Hong Kong, where he assisted senior TCM practitioners and prescribed Chinese herbal medicine to patients. He also volunteered at community health events organised by the hospital.

The skills and insights gained from these senior practitioners paved the way for his next role at Pok Oi Hospital in Hong Kong, where he diagnosed patients and provided treatments using acupuncture and Chinese herbal prescriptions. Additionally, he took on management responsibilities, ensuring the clinic was well-stocked and promoting its services to the public.

Clinical Specialties

Thanks to his impressive academic background and clinical achievements, Dr Chan is well-equipped to address a broad range of complex health concerns, including:

• Stroke and related complications
• Nerve pain
• Headaches and migraines
• Respiratory issues (such as asthma, hay fever, and COPD)
• Oncology support
• Stress, anxiety, and insomnia
• Stomach pain and digestive issues
• Women’s and men’s health

Experience Working in the UK

Dr Chan joined AcuMedic in 2023, bringing his expertise to the UK. While he has already helped patients with infertility and pain, he believes the potential of Chinese Medicine extends far beyond these common conditions:

“People in the UK may not realise that acupuncture and Chinese herbs can aid recovery from conditions like stroke and asthma, and even play a role in oncology, as is common in modern hospitals in China. I hope more people in the West can experience the full benefits of Chinese Medicine for overall well-being.”

More About Dr Chan

“When I work with Western patients, I understand that while they may be aware that Chinese Medicine can help them, they might not know exactly how or why it works. I take care to explain what their acupuncture or herbal treatment does. I use simple examples from nature to explain Chinese Medicine theory, and I share clinical studies that provide evidence, in Western medical terms, that my treatment can help.”
