Homeopathic Doctor

Responsibilities

As a homeopath, you'll need to:

- carry out initial consultations with patients to get a detailed case history
- ask questions about the patient's medical history, lifestyle and mood
- decide on the best use of homeopathic remedies to address a range of conditions
- monitor and evaluate patient progress
- instruct patients about the use and effects of particular remedies and respond to any queries they may have
- advise on lifestyle issues, such as diet, exercise and mental health
- refer patients to other health practitioners, as appropriate
- keep detailed notes and records for each patient
- research medical conditions and homeopathic remedies, keeping up to date with new advances
- run seminars and presentations for groups in the community, or for other health practitioners, to promote homeopathy.
- What to expect
- Work is usually done on a one-to-one basis and can take place in your own home, from an alternative therapy clinic or sometimes in a GP practice. You may provide face-to-face or online appointments.
- You may need to have an additional job in the early stages of setting up a practice, until your client base becomes large enough to sustain a regular income. The time taken to build up a practice varies as you'll need to assess the local market and raise awareness of your services.
- Jobs are available in most areas of the UK and it's possible to set up a practice virtually anywhere.
- You're not likely to spend much time travelling or staying away overnight, although you may travel locally, for example if you're working from several locations.
- There may be opportunities to work abroad. If you want to work abroad, check local regulations as in some countries only medically-qualified homeopaths can practise legally.
- Skills

You'll need to have:

- well-developed interpersonal, communication and listening skills for case-taking and patient management
- an open, non-judgemental approach and the ability to gain patients' trust
- sensitivity, maturity and resilience to cope with the emotional demands of patient consultations
- an analytical approach combined with creativity and intuition for choosing the appropriate treatment
- in-depth knowledge of remedies, and an understanding of disease processes
- attention to detail
- time management skills and the ability to remain calm under pressure
- the ability and confidence to promote and run your own practice
- business skills such as admin, marketing and book keeping if running your own practice.
