Alliance of Registered Homeopaths

What Alliance of Registered Homeopaths does

The Alliance of Registered Homeopaths (ARH) is a UK-based nonprofit professional membership organization founded in 2000 that represents registered homeopaths and connects the public with qualified practitioners. It publishes a public-facing online register (Find a Homeopath), provides general information about homeopathy, collaborates across the homeopathy profession, and delivers membership services to practising homeopaths and students in training. Its core offerings are the Homeopathy in Practice (HiP) journal — a peer-reviewed publication issued three times per year — an annual professional conference (the 2026 edition marks the organization's 25th anniversary), CPD event listings open to members and non-members, and supplementary resources including GDPR guidelines and monthly crosswords.

ARH's technology stack is a standard content-and-commerce build: a WordPress website with a WooCommerce storefront for journal back-issue sales and international shipping, SheepCRM for membership and journal subscriptions, PayPal and SagePay for payment processing, Google Analytics for traffic analysis, and Zoom, YouTube Live, and Webex for virtual and hybrid events. The Find a Homeopath directory is its principal public discovery channel. There is no proprietary platform, no native mobile app, and no API offering.

Revenue is generated across four streams: annual membership subscriptions (renewing 1 October each year), HiP journal back-issue sales priced at £8–£15 per copy plus tiered international shipping, conference and workshop ticket sales (including early-bird discounts), and insurance referral commissions earned through ARH's role as an Introducer Appointed Representative of Balens Limited (an FCA-authorised broker in the PIB Group). Member services are anchored by a reimbursement network of eight health insurers — including Birmingham Hospital Saturday Fund, Foresters, Health Shield, Norwich Union, Patient Aid Association, QUINN-healthcare, Simply Health, and Westfield Health — that recognize ARH-registered practitioners for patient reimbursement, making membership functionally valuable for practitioners seeking insured patients.

Regional players

• Homeopathy New Zealand: New Zealand professional body for registered homeopaths with a public find-a-practitioner directory. Comparable mission and model to ARH, but operating in New Zealand rather than the UK.
• Australian Homeopathic Association: Australia's peak professional body for homeopaths with a public register and member services. Comparable as a national homeopathy register/membership body, but geographically distinct from ARH.

Direct peers

• Faculty of Homeopathy: UK organisation representing doctors, vets and other healthcare professionals practising homeopathy, with membership, training and CPD offerings. Comparable as a competing UK homeopathy register serving an overlapping practitioner base.

• British Homeopathic Association / Homeopathy UK: UK charity promoting homeopathy with a practitioner directory, public education and member services. Comparable to ARH as a UK homeopathy membership and advocacy body targeting both practitioners and patients.

Emerging players

• British Acupuncture Council (BAcC): UK self-regulatory body for acupuncture practitioners with a public register, insurance partnerships and CPD. Comparable as a UK complementary-medicine membership organisation with a similar register-plus-insurance model, though focused on acupuncture.

Broad incumbents

• European Committee for Homeopathy (ECH): European umbrella body coordinating national homeopathy associations and standards across multiple countries. Comparable as a higher-tier homeopathy membership organisation but with a pan-European remit versus ARH's UK focus.
• Liga Medicorum Homeopathica Internationalis (LMHI): International professional homeopathic medical society with global membership and congresses. Comparable as a membership-based homeopathy organisation, though oriented to medically qualified practitioners worldwide.

Others
