Homeopathy Research Day

On Thursday 4^th June I had a trip to London for a research networking day. Rachel Roberts is the Research Consultant for the Society of Homeopaths and she did a great job getting a large group of us together. There are many homeopaths working on small, local research projects in a variety of areas as well as a geat deal of research taking place in universities and hospitals.

This was a chance to meet face to face and make connections with others with similar interests. The recent criticism of homeopathy in the press seems to have been a catalyst for bringing lots of different groups together. There were people at the meeting from the Homeopathic Medical Association and Society of Homeopaths as well as academics involved in homeopathic teaching.

It was encouraging to see how much positive work is going on, and also to make some useful contacts in the north of England.
