From there, a treatment plan is discussed — this may include acupuncture, tui na (therapeutic massage), cupping, or Chinese herbal medicine, depending on the condition and the practitioner's assessment. Patients should raise any contraindications, existing medications, or chronic conditions at the first appointment. Recurring package options may be available depending on the treatment course recommended.

No referral is required to book an initial consultation at a TCM clinic. At the first visit, expect to complete an intake form covering your current symptoms, medical history, existing medications, and lifestyle factors. The practitioner will then conduct a TCM diagnostic assessment — typically tongue inspection, pulse-taking, and a structured interview — before recommending a treatment approach. For complex or chronic conditions, bringing a copy of any recent specialist reports or blood work can help the practitioner tailor the treatment plan. If you intend to claim treatment costs under an integrated shield plan or corporate health insurance, check with your insurer whether a GP referral is needed to support the claim before your appointment.
In Singapore, TCM practitioners — including acupuncturists and Chinese herbalists — must be registered with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the Ministry of Health. Registration is verifiable on the TCMPB public register at moh.gov.sg. The clinic premises should also hold a valid healthcare institution licence. No regulatory licences were listed for Raffles Chinese Medicine (Shaw Centre) at the time of this listing. Given the clinic's location within Raffles Hospital, practitioners are expected to meet MOH and TCMPB requirements, but you should confirm the consulting practitioner's TCMPB registration number directly before proceeding with treatment. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the TCMPB public register before treatment.
