The day is free of charge and open to all interested parties -existing approved suppliers, potential new suppliers, practitioners and anyone involved in quality assurance in the herbal sector.

The Approved Suppliers Scheme was initiated by the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine (RCHM) in 2004 with the aim of ensuring a safe supply of Chinese herbal products to its 450 members, and hence to the public. Under the sponsorship of the European Herbal and Traditional Medicine Practitioners Association, a herbal suppliers training day is being held to explore what an Approved Suppliers Scheme involves and what the standards are, challenges for suppliers and how to resolve these and regulation of the supply industry.

Date: 24th March 2014
Venue: Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew

The aim of this day is to bring together researchers to explore issues related to plant illustration and identification in the history of herbal medicine. Correct identification of plants in the past has been of great importance, whether for foods, medicines or other purposes. But to what extent did people in medieval and early modern times learn about plants with medicinal uses from illustrations in herbals or elsewhere? Matters of interest include ways in which illustrations were produced, the role of illustrations, dissemination of information about plant identification, significant observers of plants and their approaches to plant description. This day seminar has been organised with a particular focus on presenting research into finding and interpreting archival and other sources relating to the history of herbal medicine. Advance registration is required.

Date: Wednesday 18th June 2014
Time: 10.30am – 4.30pm
