9 years’ experience of homoeopathic teaching and clinical training for the College. Previous experience in Serbia.
“I get excited by homoeopathic philosophy, the study of our fundamental principles and the understanding which underpins everything we do in the clinic. My particular expertise is in the teachings of Samuel Hahnemann, homoeopathy’s founder, and insights into case analysis.
I want to communicate confidence in our principles and process, and encourage critical enquiry into everything else!”

When the College changed its status to a social enterprise 8 years ago I was one of the founding members. I had just qualified from the College and was very keen for the College to continue to provide first class homeopathic education in the North West.

“My love for homoeopathy started 24 years before I graduated from the college. I have been involved in running of the college since 2008. My vision is to establish NWCH as a long term financially stable organisation! I help students’ learning in my clinic and share my skills in setting up and running your own business.
Each year I join a team of volunteers to organise Health Awareness Day in Oldham. This event is supported by NHS and Oldham Council, where medical professionals and complementary practitioners provide free health checks and advice on health matters to the general public.”

“I want to share a really good knowledge of materia medica and the tools to build on that: the skills of critical evaluation; the ability to ‘think outside the box’ and embrace a new paradigm, a greater sense of what life is – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

My skills are lateral thinking and busking, making links from material medica to philosophy to wherever it takes us and the patient, which I hope includes a good death.”

“My primary Board responsibility is pastoral support.

I try to bring a wider perspective: my British Sign Language work, teaching of yoga; working as a homoeopathy at festivals with the Travelling Homeopaths Collective; and clinic in Rhyl.”

I have been on the board since 2013 when I joined as a student representative. I was co-opted back onto the board after I qualified. My ambitions for the college is for it to be clear and concise in its aims and delivery of quality homeopathic education and to find a balance between being supportive and nurturing of its students yet be streamlined and professional in order for this to happen. I like to think I bring some useful analytical and lateral thinking to board meetings. I also try to pick up admin related tasks where needed and try to support the Chair and college Principal. I have a good rapport with students both in classes and in student clinics and this enables me to keep in touch with the reality of studying and understand how our decisions impact them. I have experience of moderating and running web-based communities and both this, and my education have helped me understand in practical terms that people have different but equally valid opinions and I try to find ways to bring them together.

‘I work with the college as a social media consultant, and as such aim to promote the college and share relevant information with their online community mainly through their facebook and twitter accounts. I’m in college several times a year and always happy to answer questions in between those times should that help you.

I am passionate about sharing the potential of homeopathy and in particular doing this in a simple way which is accessible to everyone. Social media gives us an easy way to reach out to many individuals and show the abilities of homeopathy to the world.’

Em is a Trustee of Homeopathy Action Trust and also works with 4Homeopathy to positively promote homeopathy within the UK and globally through their social media channels.

“A newly co-opted member of the Board and practising homeopath, I also have experience of working with the charity sector and social enterprise from an earlier career in the public sector. Based in the West Midlands, I work from an Osteopathic practice alongside other complementary therapists.

At Board meetings, I aim to contribute my experience from the voluntary sector, social enterprise and project work.

Previously, I was a Trustee of the National Disability Charity and have volunteer experience with an Integrated Health Project at a charity in Birmingham, where I provided homeopathy support to clients with life limiting illnesses.

I also have an interest in the homeopathy research agenda, I won a bursary to attend the HRI 2nd International Research Conference held in Rome- June 2015. I’m using this experience to support a pilot project in the student clinics to introduce the MYMOP patient feedback questionnaire and gather data on patient experiences.

I like to attend the College CPD days an excellent opportunity to network with students and other practitioners.

I hope to contribute my skills to future projects at the College.”
