The original 3-year Oxford course, which took registered health professionals from an introduction to homeopathy through to readiness for full membership of the Faculty of Homeopathy, has now been completely redesigned to offer maximum flexibility and choice together with the highest professional standards of teaching in excellent venues.

In 2006/2007 HPTG are offering an integrated series of part-time courses which will support you whether you wish to incorporate homeopathy into your current practice, or would like to specialise:

FOUNDATION COURSE: 3-module (6 days) which will prepare you for the Primary Health Care examination of the Faculty of Homeopathy. Successful candidates can then apply for licensed membership of the Faculty (LFHom). It will also give you a firm grounding for the next level of study.

INTERMEDIATE/PROFESSIONAL COURSE: 5-module (15 days)

• training and support to integrate homeopathy and holistic medicine into your practice
• preparation for accredited Faculty of Homeopathy exams MFHom part 1
• dynamic teaching with case illustrations

ADVANCED COURSE: Four 2-day events in 2006/2007

Day 1: Advanced coaching on patient care, Practice development using case support, Supervision

Day 2: Advanced materia medica

• designed to meet the needs of health professionals who are integrating homeopathy into their practice, and for homeopathic physicians, homeopathic veterinary surgeons and professional homeopaths who are extending their knowledge and practice of homeopathy
• a rolling programme of meetings providing a mix of small group and larger class teaching
• aims to provide support, education and development opportunities for all homeopaths, in an environment which is conducive both to learning and to relaxing with like-minded colleagues.

We have also initiated a regional Introductory Day for Veterinary Nurses and Support Staff which consists of interactive lectures explaining the origins and development of homeopathy, its use in veterinary medicine today and the role of the veterinary nurse in the provision of homeopathy within a practice. The day also includes First Aid prescribing and details of remedies for First Aid and surgical situations.

And if you want to know how and why the HPTG Partnership became so passionate about homeopathy then read their book Passionate Medicine - Making the transition from conventional medicine to homeopathy

Passionate Medicine is a compelling record of the journeys of five doctors and two veterinary surgeons from conventional medicine to homeopathy.

In search of truth and healing in their profession, the contributors challenge the shortcomings of conventional medical training and methods, in particular the notion that effective clinicians should be objective and emotionally detached. Their insightful autobiographical stories clearly demonstrate the cost of the ‘dehumanising’ principle to the medical profession and argue for a more holistic, caring model that regards self-knowledge, passion and the ability to create successful practitioner–patient relationships as central to the healing process.

The contributors make a convincing case for the inherent ability of people to heal themselves and for the changing role of the clinician from expert to facilitator. This book is a thoughtful and illuminating consideration of the relationship between the medical profession and alternative therapies, and will prove compelling reading for all trainee and practising medical professionals.
