About the Faculty of Homeopathy
Founded in 1844 and incorporated by the Act of Parliament in 1950, the Faculty of Homeopathy is one of the longest established homeopathic organisations in the world. The Faculty has long been recognised as the pre-eminent membership organisation for statutorily regulated healthcare professionals who integrate homeopathy within their practice. The Faculty’s mission statement is: ‘to promote and support the highest standards of practice, education and research in homeopathy’.
The Faculty is an international and multidisciplinary organisation, embracing a wide range of healthcare professionals. The Faculty provides internationally recognised training pathways in homeopathy for doctors, dentists, pharmacists, veterinary surgeons, nurses and other statutorily regulated healthcare professionals. Faculty members are medical professionals who are qualified and trained in both conventional medicine and homeopathic medicine. This provides them with a unique perspective on healthcare and allows them to effectively integrate these various disciplines.
In addition to membership and academic activities, the Faculty’s other key areas of work include promotion, quality assurance, and publication of the international research journal, Homeopathy.
