• You are a statutorily regulated healthcare practitioner with no homeopathic qualifications, but you want to use the Faculty of Homeopathy appraisal and revalidation service as your designated body

Affiliate (AFHom) Member Of The Faculty Of Homeopathy

Affiliate (AFHom) is the Faculty of Homeopathy entry level practitioner membership. We will be pleased to welcome you as an Affiliate member if you are a qualified medical homeopath, integrative healthcare practitioner, or non-medical homeopath.

If you are statutorily regulated or registrable homeopath or integrative healthcare practitioner you are eligible to advance to a higher level of membership through our equivalence process. 

Licentiate/Veterinary Licentiate (LFHom/VetLFHom) Member Of The Faculty Of Homeopathy

When you pass the Primary Healthcare Examination (PHCE), or an equivalent examination, your membership will automatically be upgraded from Affiliate to Licentiate/Veterinary Licentiate. You are now just one step away from the prestigious Member by Examination or Veterinary Member by Examination qualification if you are interested.

As a Licentiate/Veterinary Licentiate member you are qualified to apply simple acute and first aid homeopathy within the normal scope of your professional practice.

Member by Examination (MFHom) Of The Faculty Of Homeopathy

The Faculty of Homeopathy Member by Examination is widely recognised as the gold standard in medical homeopathy, and is a highly sought after globally recognised qualification. It is over 80 years since the introduction of the highly acclaimed MFHom post-graduate qualification. In the words of the late Dr Peter Fisher – “the MFHom was the first post-graduate qualification in the world for Doctors who want to train in homeopathy. We are the original and we are still the best!”

Member on the Specialist Register (MFHom Spec Reg) Membership

The Faculty of Homeopathy Member on the Specialist Register is equivalent to a 'Specialist' in the UK National Health Service (NHS). The MFHom Spec Reg post-nominals represent your achievement, skill level, experience as a medical homeopath/integrative healthcare practitioner, and your commitment to professionalism, integrity, and excellence in your professional practice. This membership category is not available to new applicants.

Member by Equivalence (MFHom/MFHom (Int) Or Diplomate (DFHom/DFHom (Int)) Membership

If you are already an Affiliate member and a qualified and experienced practising medical homeopath or integrative healthcare practitioner you may wish to apply for a higher level of membership through the Faculty of Homeopathy equivalence assessment process. For more information please contact any Faculty of Homeopathy member of staff, who will be happy to help you.

Faculty of Homeopathy Diplomate (DFHom/DFHom (Int)) and Member by Equivalence (MFHom/ MFHom (Int) members are statutorily regulated healthcare practitioners in their country of registration. As a Diplomate member you will be registered with your professional body and/or regulator, but your medical qualification does not permit you to practice as a Medical Doctor in the UK. As a Member by Equivalence member your medical qualifications are recognised by the UK General Medical Council (GMC).

If you are a Diplomate or Member by Equivalence the Faculty of Homeopathy is proud to recognise your professional qualifications, skills, and approach to patient-centred integrative medicine. As a Diplomate or Member by Equivalence you are eligible to practice independently and treat complex and chronic medical conditions.

Each year the Faculty of Homeopathy is proud to award Full and Honorary Fellowships to professionals globally who are making a difference to the practice and recognition of homeopathy.

Retired Member

You may have stopped treating patients but that does not mean you have reached the end of your homeopathic journey. Over many years of healthcare/veterinary practice you have no doubt built up a wealth of skills, knowledge, and experience. You may be interested in sharing your experience or continuing to learn and spread the word about this kind and gentle treatment. You are a valuable asset to homeopathy globally, and we would be delighted if you would consider Faculty of Homeopathy Retired Member membership.
