Dr Helen Beaumont, President of the Faculty of Homeopathy
The Faculty of Homeopathy Congress is recognised asthe most intellectually and socially stimulating event inthe homeopathic calendar. For the first time ever, in2016 this biennial event is coming to Belfast, NorthernIreland’s largest city, where we hope you will join us.
The traditional Irish greeting, “Céad Míle Fáilte”, which translates as “A hundred thousand welcomes” reflects the warm and convivialhospitality that awaits you in Belfast. Local must-see attractions includeTitanic Belfast, City Hall, Game of Thrones film sets, Crumlin Road Gaoland the Giant’s Causeway.
Centred on the theme, Homeopathy: Healthy Patients, HealthyPractice, delegates will enjoy presentations, seminars and workshopsdelivered by leading homeopaths from the UK and around the globe.Topics for discussion will include the first UK presentation by SwissPaediatrician Dr Heiner Frei, who will be introducing his very successfulapproach to treatment of children with ADHD; Dr Jonathan Hardy'svideo cases of patients with severe addictions markedly helped byHomeopathy; Dr Julie Geraghty introducing the new Gemstoneremedies like Amethyst, Diamond and Emerald (also very useful inaddiction) and Dr Elizabeth Thompson discussing the usefulness ofthe hydrocarbon remedies in treating patients with cancer.
A key focus for this year’s Congress is to encourage networking – fromthe newly (or soon to be) qualified homeopath to established academicswithin the homeopathic community. To this end we are developing acomprehensive programme with an increased number of opportunitiesfor networking. Plus there are three fantastic social events, which willprovide plentiful opportunities to encounter friends old and new.
For Congress 2016 we are again delighted to feature theWeleda sponsored competition, aimed at students ofHomeopathy, where the winning prize is the opportunityto attend Congress (including social events) all expensespaid, as well as a visit to Weleda in the summer.
