Description of course and content

Our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) home study module is aimed at homeopaths. It looks at conventional medicine from a fresh perspective and always considers what a practitioner of holistic medicine needs. Our unique Anatomy & Physiology Course for Homeopaths (A&P) teaches you about the human body and its basic functions and links this with homeopathy, while the Pathology & Disease Course (P&D) explains the concepts of diagnosis and treatment used by orthodox medicine and gives advice on the application of this knowledge in alternative practice. Our Nutrition diploma course is ideal for anyone interested in nutrition that wants to expand their knowledge of the area, to separate the fact from the fiction.

In each course you are guided through the topics by reference to supplied textbooks and given supporting explanations, descriptions, and diagrams. You check your progress and reinforce your learning through self-assessment questions with model answers. At the end of each study unit you send assignments to a specialist tutor for assessment.

Mental Health Certificate for homeopaths
This Continuing Professional Development (CPD) home study module is aimed at homeopaths. It looks at conventional medicine from a fresh perspective and always considers what a practitioner of holistic medicine needs. Mental Health is an important subject for study as psychological disorders are extremely common. Many people who come for treatment have evidence of mental or emotional imbalances, although they may not be the primary presenting symptom. Conventional medicine concentrates on physical matters. In most cases this is to the exclusion of everything else. There is recognition that people have psychological symptoms but the conventional explanation is that they arise from a physical basis, usually the brain.

Anatomy & Physiology Diploma for homeopaths
An introduction and comprehensive study of Anatomy & Physiology. The course integrates anatomy and physiology with materia medica, homeopathic philosophy and case taking. This includes: organisation of the body into cells, tissues, organs, and systems; cell division and growth; blood; nutrition; homeostasis; defence mechanisms against disease; skin; reception of stimuli by the eye and the ear; reproduction.

By the time you have completed this course you will be able to identify, locate and describe the main components and functions of the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, urogenital system, endocrine system, musculoskeletal system, and nervous system. You will also know how to study more details of any of these aspects if your clinical work requires it in the future.

Pathology & Disease Diploma for Alternative Practitioners
Introduction and discussion of the philosophy of pathology, study of basic pathological processes, common medical investigations, infectious disease, cancer, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, urinary system, musculoskeletal system, dermatology, special senses, gastrointestinal system, central nervous system, endocrine system, obstetrics, gynaecology, children’s health, and psychological disorders.

Within each topic, the focus is on identification of symptoms, keys to recognising serious disease (where caution is needed), the use of diagnostic investigations, the components of specific disease states, and the management of these conditions by alternative practitioners, including the ability to communicate with orthodox medical practitioners.

Nutrition Diploma for Alternative Practitioners
Our distance-learning course is designed to give you a holistic and comprehensive overview of nutrition. It's a great introduction to the world of nutrition for both you and your family, providing you with firm base of understanding. The diploma course is made up of three units. In unit 1 you learn about the macronutrients: the essential functions of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. In unit 2 you will investigate the micronutrients: the world of vitamins, minerals and water. In unit 3 you study nutrition in relation to health. Contemporary subjects such as `detox`, food combining, allergies and supplementation, are all explored.

Skills/achievements gained

The study of medical sciences is an essential part of the education of the homeopathic practitioner.
It enables the practitioner to distinguish symptoms common to disease from those that are idiosyncratic to the patient – the latter being invaluable for a proper homeopathic assessment.
It enables the practitioner to know how the disease is likely to progress should treatment be ineffective.
It helps the practitioner know when to re-prescribe or to refer to another health-care specialist or medical doctor.
It helps communication and confidence both with patients and other health professionals.
It provides an understanding of conventional diagnosis, prognosis and treatment, and how these may affect and modify management of the case by the homeopath.
