Notice of Renewal

The TCM Practitioners Board has ceased sending hardcopy PC renewal notices since 2019. You will be notified via email when your PC is due for renewal. Hence, please ensure that your email address in the Board’s records is updated.

With the recent spike in COVID-19 cases,  tighter measures have been implemented by the Government to prevent further spread of COVID-19. The Board would therefore like to ask our practitioners to refrain from visiting our office during this time, so that we can all help to reduce the spread of the virus. Please feel free to contact the Board at tcmpb@spb.gov.sg should you require any assistance on PC renewal matter.
