UK
Paul Hougham is the Principal of CTA - The College of Traditional Acupuncture, Hatton, Warwickshire (formerly Leamington). CTA is the longest established college teaching five element acupuncture in the UK, and was founded by JR Worsley in the 1960s. Paul has been central to the recent development of a validated MA in Traditional Acupuncture at CTA as well as a renewal of the BA Hons programme, where a focus on the five element style of practice is embedded comfortably within a pluralist history of acupuncture traditions.
Paul was previously Vice-Principal of the School of Five Element Acupuncture in London, a past member of the British Acupuncture Accreditation Board and past President of The British Acupuncture Council. He is also a research student at the Westminster Institute of Education, Oxford Brookes University, studying the Metaphysics of Holism in Medical Education and Practice, and is the author of The Atlas of Mind, Body and Spirit, published by Gaia Press.
