Clinic Details
Location: In person at Engineers' House or online (via Zoom)
Patients may attend the clinic on their own initiative or be referred by their GP. Consultations cost £15, and we are very grateful to Helios Homeopathic Pharmacy for kindly providing prescriptions free of charge.
The clinic is an exciting and important project - offering accessible treatment to those who might not otherwise be able to afford private homeopathic care, while also giving students invaluable hands-on experience under the supervision of highly experienced practitioners.
If you are interested in attending the clinic please contact Poppy, our clinic coordinator, directly at cchstudentclinic@gmail.com to book an appointment.
For students, the clinical experience provides a stimulating and well-structured bridge between the world of theory and the realities of professional practice. It offers a solid, supportive foundation to ensure graduates feel confident, safe, and competent as they begin their own work as practitioners.
Dion Tabrett
Lecturer, Senior Clinical Supervisor
Dion Tabrett is one of the clinicians involved in supervising the students who are working in the active clinic. He describes the benefits:
“The thing I love about running the teaching clinic is that unlike private practice where you see the patients generally get better and better, I also see the students get better and better. It's great to see their confidence grow from that early stage where they feel "I'm not sure I can do this", to the last few months where they see that they must be able to, because the patient is getting better. The clinic is the supreme test for myself and students alike. Whatever you think you have observed, however clever you are in analysing the case, there is the acid test of the patient recovering or not. Fortunately to date we have done very well.”
Clinical Experience
By the time students graduate from the college, they will have completed over 100 hours of clinical experience.
Under normal circumstances, students take cases in a small consulting room with a live video link to the rest of the student group and the clinical supervisor. In recent years, many consultations have also been conducted via Zoom, allowing patients to attend remotely while maintaining the same high standard of supervision and discussion. After each consultation, the case is reviewed collectively, an appropriate prescription is made, and the patient returns a month later for follow-up and assessment.
This structure gives students direct experience in all aspects of clinical work — including case-taking, case analysis, and repertorisation — within a professional and supportive environment. The teaching clinic is designed to mirror real-life practice as closely as possible, ensuring a smooth transition from student practitioner to confident, independent homeopath.
On average, students observe and participate in the treatment of 6-8 patients during each teaching clinic day.
Supervision
In their final year, students are required to submit five cases that they have taken themselves. Each case must include the initial consultation and at least two follow-ups. Before any prescription is made, students consult with an approved college supervisor in a one-to-one tutorial session. This provides a more personalised and in-depth learning experience than is possible within the busy college clinic and helps students build confidence in their independent decision-making.
Equally important, this stage of the course encourages students to begin networking and establishing their own practice, laying the foundations for their professional careers.
Jacki Becker, one of the lecturers at the college, says:
“I love the atmosphere at the college, especially the range of ages and experience of the students and the amazing skills they bring with them. In supervision, we manage to discuss all the problems of the human soul and then end up coming back to treating the patient's swollen toe or their allergy to pears!”
Tutorials
The Tutorial System serves two main purposes. Firstly, it allows senior students to develop their communication and mentoring skills by working with students from earlier years. Secondly, it provides all students with ongoing academic and personal support throughout their studies.
Tutors and students are encouraged to stay in regular contact between teaching weekends, using the student journal to reflect on progress, raise uncertainties, and explore key issues for discussion. Each student is also required to keep a record of their learning journey - noting subjects covered, insights gained, and areas of personal development - as part of their continuing growth as a practitioner.
