HRI is delighted to announce the recent publication of innovative qualitative research, carried out as part of a multi-faceted project investigating the role of individualised homeopathy in treating depression.

Dr Petter Viksveen, University of Sheffield, performed an in-depth exploration of depressed patients’ experiences of receiving treatment from a homeopath. This study provides valuable insight into patients‘ understanding of their treatment, and the changes experienced in their health, over time.

Dr Viksveen has also published reflections on the benefits and challenges of using the novel ‘cohort multiple’ pragmatic trial method used for this project.

43 filmed presentations from the Malta 2017 Conference Programme are available to stream online free of charge. 4 keynote presentations, 30 oral presentations, 5 poster talks and 3 updates from international research organisations provide over 11.5 hours of learning material.

Following requests from colleagues around the world for our Homeopathy FAQs to be translated into various languages, we have been delighted to create our multilingual FAQs, With the final addition of Swedish FAQs we have now reached our maximum of 10 languages, enabling us to bring essential information to a wide international audience.
