Homeopathy for All (HfA) is a group of experienced professional
homoeopaths in Herefordshire who for the past 2 years have been
offering homoeopathic treatment free of charge via community organisations
in the city. HfA currently works regularly with Herefordshire Women’s
Aid (working with victims of domestic violence and abuse); Herefordshire
MIND (the local branch of the mental health charity) and DASH (Herefordshire’s
drug user support service). We are currently going through process
of becoming an official charity to make it easier to source funding.
We can offer one student place at each clinic session. Students
will not be taking cases but will have the opportunity to gain
experience of clinical work rarely encountered in standard private
practice. Sessions cost £15. Any student wishing to take
up a place should call (01432) 360988. All clinics are in the centre
of Hereford, and easily accessible by car, train or bus.
Eleana Needham, www.thehealingpond.com,
is a graduate of the Lakeland College of Homeopathy and runs student clinics
in Banstead, Surrey (near
Epsom, Sutton
and Reigate). "The clinic runs on the first and third Friday of every
month 10am- 4.30pm (with a lunch break) for up to five students who meet
to explore case taking, analysis, follow-ups, prescriptions, paper cases
and graduation cases. I offer students access to a full dispensing service,
including an extensive homeopathic pharmacy, an eclectic collection of herbal
tinctures and tissue salts, more than ten different systems of flower/vibrational
remedies and also nutritional support (nutritional supplements can be obtained
at a discount)."
Students fee: £35 - free car parking and refreshments provided - a
lending reference library and copying facilities are also available.
Patient Fees: £25 first adult consultation and £15 thereafter; £20
first child consultation and £10 thereafter. If patients book and
attend six consultations they get the last one free.
"I expect students to attend regularly in order to get the benefit of
continuity and to accrue their clinic points. I encourage them to bring their
own
patients and to be inquisitive, inventive and original in their approach to
case taking,
analysis and treatment. Above all I encourage a 'holistic student approach'
and place great emphasis on each individual student's personal journey."

Magdalena Whitehouse runs her clinic at 78 High Street, Hurstpierpoint, West Sussex.
"This clinic is an opportunity for students to sit in with live cases, taken by myself. Each case is followed by a teaching discussion session leading to choice of prescription, which is made ultimately by myself. Together we shall study:
- What is to be cured
- Methods of analysis
- Careful rubric selection
- Comparative materia Medica
As we follow the patient through follow up appointments we shall be looking at case taking techniques and case management. If a student brings their own patient, they are entitled to a free clinic."
Magdalena has been running a homeopathic practice and been involved in teaching and supervision of students for 10 years. Originally qualified from London College of Homoeopathy, she has recently completed further studies with Jeremy Sherr at Dynamis, and now holds the qualification Practitioner of Classical Homoeopathy (PCH). Her student clinic runs from 2pm - 7pm, bi-monthly. Student charge £15; Patients £30.

Grace DaSilva-Hill is opening a students' clinic in Charing - Kent (just a few miles in-between Ashford, Canterbury and Maidstone), with easy access from Surrey, East and West Sussex and South London.
The clinic takes place on Saturdays, once monthly, from 10.00 am till 15.00. Grace has supervised students' clinics since 1999, in a supportive, friendly and professional setting.
The clinic takes five students, from any College, and we all sit in with the patient, with one homeopath taking the case, either a student or myself. We then discuss the case, decide on appropriate method and prescription, incl. comparative materia medica, and the remedies are then posted to the patient - the student takes responsibility for the patient's needs with my support.
Students are encouraged to be creative and emphasis is put on self-development and building confidence.
These clinics have proved to give valuable practical homeopathic experience and have been well evaluated over the years.
Free car parking. 10 mins. walk to railway station. The student fee is £35 per clinic and there is an expectation that students will attend regularly; refreshments are provided. Students are welcome and encouraged to bring their own patients. Patients fees to be agreed by the students as a group.
