Students who run an alternative medicine clinic invited people from the community to celebrate its first anniversary.

The Park Clinic, in Colindale, marked the day with a party attended by Mayor of Barnet Councillor Hugh Rayner.

Run by students from Middlesex University, in The Burroughs, Hendon, the clinic specialises in Ayurvedic medicine, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine.

The event also marked the launch of new book, Herbal Exchanges, co-edited by clinical tutor Hananja Brice-Ytsma and containing chapters from previous Middlesex University staff.
