Message from the President - Dr Lee Kayne PhD, MRPharmS, FFHom

Welcome to the Faculty of Homeopathy

A highly regarded and globally recognised leader in the practice, education, and research of homeopathy and integrative healthcare. Founded in 1844, and incorporated by an Act of Parliament in 1950, the Faculty has long been recognised as the preeminent membership organisation for statutorily regulated healthcare professionals who integrate homeopathy within their practice and is also known for its two popular and groundbreaking publications – the Homeopathy journal, and Simile magazine.

My personal journey in homeopathy began at a very early age – I’m told that colocynth and chamomilla were administered to me as a baby for colic and teething respectively and I remember homeopathy was always used regularly growing up. By the time I chose to follow a career as a pharmacist I had already seen the benefits of homeopathy as a therapeutic modality in real life clinical situations. It was Dr David Reilly’s sessions at the Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital that really kickstarted my desire to learn more and study with the Faculty of Homeopathy, gaining the LFHom (Pharm), DFHom (Pharm), and MFHom (Pharm) qualifications before being elected to a Fellowship in 2009. The unparalleled professional education offered by the Faculty of Homeopathy in its qualification courses, the biennial congress, and in the Faculty’s regular CPD events continues to add to my clinical knowledge and professional toolkit, as I’m sure it will for you too.
