The History of the College
The North West College of Homoeopathy (NWCH) offers training in Classical Homeopathy. The college was established in 1984 by Ernest Roberts.
Ernest's goal was to educate homeopathic practitioners and teachers to the highest standards by using a range of flexible learning styles, which placed special emphasis on student participation and self development and on close supervision at all stages of their training.
The outcome of this innovative approach has meant that the number of practitioners has grown substantially since 1984. There are a large number of qualified graduates from the college who are now running successful practices in many parts of the country.
The college also provides homeopathic treatment to patients throughout the region at its college clinics. There are "chronic" clinics providing opportunities for private consultations or both "chronic" and "acute drop-in" clinics where up to three students sit in, observe and contribute.
The North West College of Homoeopathy is based at Room 315, Houldsworth Mill, Stockport which forms the administrative base of the college.
Since 1992 the teaching weekends of the four year part time course have been held at the Manchester Metropolitan University Didsbury Campus. Here we have access to well-equipped lecture rooms, tutorial rooms, clinic rooms with audio-visual facilities and remote viewing for students, a refectory and all the other facilities associated with university accommodation.
The core teaching team at the NWCH have been involved in the development, teaching and in some cases clinical supervision at the college for many years, some since its inception.
On the retirement of Ernest the college began its transformative journey, this involved staff, students, lecturers and graduates, all having a part to play in the essential reconstruction of the college. The eventual outcome was a result of vision and commitment; the school evolved into a Social Collective. Times change and as Homoeopathic philosophy teaches; health is the ability to adapt. The vital force of the college; its shareholders, Board, students, clinicians and staff welcomed the growth and like the phoenix from the ashes the college rose to celebrate in July 2009, its first AGM at the Gorton Monastery, as well as its 25th Year as a Homoeopathic College. We choose the venue to mirror our journey; a building that has itself undergone its own evolutionary process. Please take a look at the photographs of our AGM.
