    David Colquhoun  💙 Retweeted Nightingale Collab.

    It's worth pointing out that this success is largely the work of skeptical bloggers, working for nothing. It owes very little to governments (which hindered it) or to the medical establishment.https://twitter.com/NightingaleC/status/963822686794403840 …

    1/2 The Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine announce that from 03 April 2018 they will no longer will no longer be providing NHS-funded *homeopathic* products for any patients as part of their routine care, in line with @camden_ccg policy: https://www.uclh.nhs.uk/PandV/PIL/Patient%20information%20leaflets/Childrens%20Service.pdf … pic.twitter.com/uVVy1O32Sh

        On the GP prescribing front, majority of current spend is down to Anthroposophic Steiner cultists who ignore locally agreed formulary. And they will still do until Department of Health blacklists products. CCGs have no power to enforce.

        Replying to @UKHomeopathyReg @david_colquhoun

        Likely to apply to herbal products too. It is often forgotten that pharmacies can get £20 an item dispensing fee for unlicensed medicines. The roughly £200k cost figure for herbal/homeopathic prescription item costs to NHS England could be easily be £500k+ plus.

        Doesn't really map 1:1 but blog posts can inform & inspire people to take additional action (eg write to MP, fill in consultations, share posts / consultations w others). David, @GoodThinkingSoc, @NightingaleC & others also critically appraised evidence "for" #homeopathy...

        Or to so-called Big Pharma which is barely aware that homeopathy exists.
