Message from our new President
At the AGM in January Dr Sara Eames was elected as President of the Faculty. She replaces John Saxton, who we thank for the valuable contribution he has made over the last three years. Sara is Education Director and Head of Women's Services at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital.
I feel honoured to have been elected Faculty President and in these troubled times I hope to be able to make a real difference. I would like to see the Faculty far better known so that all professional and media organisations automatically contact us for opinions and information. Any ideas and help in achieving this will be most gratefully received! sara.eames@uclh.nhs.uk
DH confirms “inappropriate” use of the NHS logo
 The Department of Health has confirmed that the use of the NHS logo on the document “Homeopathic Services” was unauthorised and “inappropriate”.
This document, which looked like an official NHS board paper and was in effect a pro forma decommissioning document, had been the subject of great controversy following its circulation to all PCTs last May along with a letter from Professors Born, Baum, Ernst, Colquhoun and others urging PCTs to stop funding homeopathy.
The DH issued its statement confirming that the NHS logo has been used inappropriately on 25 October, for the attention of all directors of commissioning. Lord Darzi also confirmed this in response to a question in the House of Lords and said the department had “provided clarification and advice on the use of the National Health Service logo to those who originated the document”.
Please be sure to draw this DH statement to your local PCT’s attention if you suspect that they have been influenced by this document. download DH statement here.

He is also speaking in an adjournment debate on 19 February. RLHH has sent a briefing to all MPs known to be supportive.
