Lots has been happening in UK homeopathy, look at these three great sites and read below to see all the amazing things that have been happening:
www.celebhomeopathy.com
www.findahomeopath.org.uk
www.homeopathyevidencecheck.org
Collectively the profession is working hard, launching great projects and is on the cusp of achieving a great number of things over the next 12 months. A big part of our work over the past year has been getting the foundations in place to enable us to make a positive impact in the media. Even more importantly 11 of the UKs leading homeopathic organisations have been able to work together to share responses and resources on key policy issues. We have been busy and below are just a few things that have been done. Roll on the next 12 months!
Key messages and a Media Toolkit
We have developed key messages for homeopathy so when ever we do a project or talk about homeopathy we are all coming from the same place. We have also created a media tool kit full of responses to often used arguments, and facts to help reinforce our statements.
Patient database
We are building a robust database of patients willing to speak about their experiences of homeopathy. All organisations have asked their memberships over the past 6 months to help recruit patients. We need more patients who are willing to speak out!
Media Training
A group across registers and expertise have been trained extensively and are ready for appearing on the TV and talking to the press. The toolkit is essential prerequisite to those appearing in the media and the arguments have been road tested by experts.
Videos
You can watch professionally filmed videos about homeopathy on YouTube at:

Find a Homeopath website
This new new website www.findahomeopath.org.uk has been launched for the public to search a database of UK homeopaths and offer useful information about homeopathy, what to expect from a consultation, and information on the r egisters that the practitioners are registered with.
ASA
We have worked together across organisations to share information and responses to the ASA regarding their guidelines and ill-conceived challenges to homeopathic information on websites. We have represented the community professionally and challenged key principals of the ASA and CAP’s approach. Members in significant numbers wrote to MPs with templates provided and flagged issues with the ASA.
MHRA
All stakeholders have shared information and expertise to allow every organisation to make a sound response to the recent MHRA consultation on the Medicines Act Consultation. Organisations worked together on the successful campaign to alert MPs and decision makers of the grave concerns about the implementation of Act. Following the campaign the profession has received written confirmation from ministers that homeopathy is safe.
Scottish Parliament reception
On the 14th March a reception took place in Scottish Parliament due to the good work across homeopathic organisations and individuals. Geoff Johnson gave a brief talk “Cleaning up the food chain; the role homeopathy could play” stressing the use of homeopathy in a veterinary setting and the growing evidence base in homeopathy from animal trials.
Social Media and Facebook
A new Facebook initiative Homeopathy Worked For Me has been launched to give our patients a voice. It requires only that they LIKE the page (and can leave a brief message or story). We’re aiming for tens of thousands of LIKE’s across the world if we can access the correct channels. Give it a thumbs up now! www.facebook.com/#!/HoWFMe
Celebrity Photography Project
Mooted by various organisations over a number of years, the BHA have managed to put financial stru ctures in place to actually make this happen. Go to www.celebhomeopathy.com to see the site. It launched during Homeopathy Awareness Week. We all hope to build on this campaign in the future, adding more celebrities and creative projects to endorse and build public awareness about homeopathy.
Homeopathy Evidence Check
Want to know why the homeopathy evid ence check was so biased then check out the new website we have developed: www.homeopathyevidencecheck.org. . The profession now has a website that gives the homeopaths view about what really went on with the last parliamentary evidence check. It has purposefully been written in a balanced way to help people outside of homeopathy understand why the process was flawed. Please do share all these web links.
We expect a lot more to happen over the next 12 months as we all continue to work together.
Best wishes
