By removing homeopathic referrals to the Portland Centre for Integrated Medicine (PCIM), Bristol CCG demonstrates a lack of sound decision making because this change will not help improve patient health or balance their books.

NHS England and homeopathy

Instead of listening to patients who have benefited from the therapy, or to the doctors who have treated them, NHS England chooses to base its decision on the discredited […]

Thousands of pounds raised for legal challenge

The BHA’s online campaign to raise money to fund a judicial review of NHS England’s consultation on its plans to stop prescriptions for homeopathic medicines, has reached its target of £16,000. We are delighted at the generosity of our supporters who share our concerns over this attack on patient choice, said Cristal Sumner, BHA chief […]
