- **Event Name**: Alumni Points & Practical Skills Refresher - with Nicola Gibbs & Kasia Orzechowska [1 day CPD]
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 08 Feb, 2026 at 10:00 am
- **Event Description**: After the big success of our first CICM Alumni-only refresher course, we are running a second one in the Autumn!
 
Whether you graduated in the last month, or in the last decade, join our fabulous programme leaders for Point Location and Practical Skills - Nicola Gibbs &amp; Kasia Orzechowska - to spend the day going over points, pulses, cupping, moxa and more...
 
The day is aimed at alumni and is an opportunity to practice and refresh skills where there may be a lack of confidence or knowledge.
 
You will cover points, needling, cupping, moxa, gua sha, tongue and pulse, starting with a brief Q and A to assess the areas/skills those attending wish to be covered. Our programme leaders will then work the day around what best suits the requirements of the attendees on that day.
 
There will not be a strict agenda, but our programme leaders will focus on what is requested. They will email everyone beforehand, to get the techniques, points and niggles that you want to focus on… 

Therefore it is the perfect time to locate and needle points which cause YOU concern, get any pulse and tongue queries answered, and practise any skills that you may not be as confident with - all in a safe and supportive environment, with the fabulous teachers many of you had whilst at the college!
