A message from our President - Dr Lee Kayne
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.
If you are a healthcare professional in a statutorily regulated medical discipline, I would encourage you to consider integrative health practice as a future direction. Used in a complementary rather than alternative way, a holistic, integrative approach utilising a range of interventions including homeopathy can often help patients where conventional medicine alone does not have the answer. Though based in the UK, the Faculty membership is global and multidisciplinary. Embracing a full range of practitioners, we offer Associate memberships and qualifications by equivalence to those already in possession of a recognised qualification in homeopathy.
Whether you’re interested in membership, studying for a qualification, equivalence or simply wish to join our mailing list of events and webinars please do get in touch with our membership team at [email protected] You will find the support offered by our members and staff to be excellent and I look forward to welcoming you to the Faculty family.
