The Society of Homeopaths

What The Society of Homeopaths does

The Society of Homeopaths Limited is a UK-based non-profit membership organisation and the largest register of professional homeopaths in the United Kingdom, founded in 1978 and headquartered at 10 Cheyne Walk, Northampton. It is constituted as a company limited by guarantee under company number 1392004 and operates four core product pillars: a public-facing searchable directory of registered practitioners (the RSHom register), a tiered membership programme for practitioners, students, and newly qualified members, an annual CPD workshop and conference programme (including the My Practice series and the Old Masters film library), and the New Homeopath professional journal published three times per year. The Society claims the largest practitioner register in the UK and grants the RSHom designation, which it markets as a quality and insurance guarantee for patients seeking homeopathic care.

Revenue derives from four primary streams: annual membership subscriptions at practitioner and student tiers, unit-priced sales of digital workshop and conference film recordings (priced between £22 and £150), paid event registrations for CPD workshops and conferences, and recurring listing revenue tied to practitioner inclusion in the public directory. Pricing is positioned as accessible, with membership framed at approximately 67p per day, and non-members pay higher rates for the journal and recorded content. The Society sells both direct to individual practitioners/students and indirectly to consumers via its public directory and partner organisations.

The underlying technology is a commodity stack: a WordPress CMS site with WooCommerce powering the digital shop, third-party email marketing and event registration plugins, and infrastructure hosted on Amazon Web Services per its privacy disclosure. There is no proprietary platform, mobile app, or API surface; all interactivity (directory search, membership login, content gating, e-commerce) is delivered through standard website tooling. The Society also operates the Society International Recognition Scheme (SIRS), which accredits homeopathy training courses beyond the UK, and maintains a network of Society-Recognised Colleges that feed students into the membership pipeline.

Direct peers

• Alliance of Registered Homeopaths: A UK-based membership body for professional homeopaths, directly comparable as a competing register offering practitioner accreditation, CPD events, and a public directory. Overlaps with the Society of Homeopaths as an alternative professional home for UK practitioners.
• Faculty of Homeopathy: UK-based professional body for statutorily regulated healthcare professionals (doctors, dentists, vets, pharmacists) practising homeopathy. Comparable in mission (setting standards, CPD, register) though focused on medically-qualified members rather than lay practitioners.
• Homeopathic Medical Association (UK): UK membership organisation promoting homeopathy among professionals and the public, including practitioner directories, training, and public education — closely aligned to the Society of Homeopaths' mission and offerings.

Broad incumbents

• British Register of Complementary Practitioners: UK-wide multi-discipline register covering homeopathy alongside other complementary therapies. Comparable as a competing practitioner directory and professional accreditation body, but broader in scope than the Society's homeopathy-only focus.
• Federation of Holistic Therapists: UK professional association for complementary and holistic therapists. Comparable as a UK membership body offering practitioner registers, CPD, and insurance partnerships, but covering a broader therapy portfolio beyond homeopathy.

Regional players

• Irish Society of Homeopaths: Ireland's national membership body for professional homeopaths with practitioner directory and CPD offerings. Mirrors the Society of Homeopaths' role at a national level and is a partner organisation, but serves a different geography.
• North American Society of Homeopaths: North American professional homeopathy membership organisation with practitioner directory and certification. Comparable structure and offerings to the Society of Homeopaths but operating in the US/Canada market; listed as a partner organisation.
• Australian Homeopathic Association: Australia's peak national homeopathy body, providing practitioner registration, public register, and professional standards. Directly analogous to the Society of Homeopaths in mission but focused on the Australian market; partner organisation.
• Canadian Society of Homeopaths: Canadian national professional homeopathy organisation with practitioner directory, education standards, and membership tiers. Functionally comparable to the Society of Homeopaths but serving Canadian practitioners; partner organisation.
• Council for Homeopathic Certification: US-based homeopathic practitioner certification body with a national register and credentialing standards. Comparable in function (certification + directory) to the Society of Homeopaths' RSHom programme, but focused on North America.
