Important announcement to all member ranks of the Faculty of Homeopathy

Call for CPD announcement

In the first half of September the Faculty will be asking 10% of all LFHom’s, DFHom’s, MFHom’s and FFHom’s in the UK and Republic of Ireland to submit their CPD records to the Faculty. The 10% will be selected at random and will be contacted by letter in the first instance.

LFHom’s are expected to complete 12 hours of attendance based and self-directed learning per year averaged out over 3 years. DFHom’s, MFHom’s and FFHom’s are expected to complete 20 hours per year averaged out over 3 years. CPD activities include attending webinars or workshops about homeopathy, attending Faculty training courses or Congress, writing articles about homeopathy or reading about homeopathy.

We believe that it is in the best interests of patients, all Faculty members and homeopathy as a therapy, for the Faculty to have a transparent and robust system of maintenance of high standards. It is for this reason that we take CPD seriously.
If you would like more information about the CPD process please contact Membership & Education Officer Lisa Peacock at lpeacock@facultyofhomeopathy.org.

Please keep an eye out for a letter in the post in September in case you are lucky enough to be selected.

After eight years as the British Homeopathic Association’s communications manager John Burry has now left the organisation, which means  he will no longer be the Faculty’s main contact  for media inquiries. However, John has agreed to continue as freelance editor of the Faculty’s quarterly newsletter Simile.

Any  member who wishes to share with the wider membership news, views, case studies etc. can contact John at jburry@facultyofhomeopathy.org

Faculty appoints new Treasurer
You may have been aware that there were no nominations for the post of Faculty Treasurer at our last AGM. Now we are pleased to announce that Dr Sara Eames, known to many of you as a previous Faculty President and current appraisal lead, was subsequently nominated, seconded and appointed by council to serve as Treasurer.

Sara is still actively working in the NHS at The Royal London Hospital for Integrated medicine, where she runs both the Women’s Service and The Education Department. She says ‘I am pleased to return to the faculty council in the role of treasurer where I hope to be able to use some of my past experience to help the faculty through these current times of change. Like many voluntary and niche membership organisations
