Abstract

We report an Outcome Survey carried out at Liverpool Regional Department of Homoeopathic Medicine, over a 12-month period between 1 June 1999 and 31 May 2000, using self-assessment by the Glasgow Homoeopathic Hospital Outcome Score (GHHOS). Overall 76.6% of patients reported an improvement in their conditions since starting homeopathic treatment, while 60.3% scored +2,+3 or+4 on the GHHOS. Fifty-two percent of patients reduced their conventional medication.
