I'm assuming that Guy's Hospital doesn't endorse this homeopathy first aid course and is just letting out a room (in Shepherd's House, on its campus, 10 Dec 2015) to people.
The website of The CPD Group (http://www.donotlink.com/hhye) says that participants on the homeopathic first aid course will learn "to treat many first aid situations, from childhood fevers, teething
troubles, attacks of sickness, ear infections, coughs, flu, diarrhoea
etc." - if they are being taught about homeopathy then this is not true as it doesn't treat any of those conditions (or any others).
It's bad enough to suggest that homeopathy can treat a list of conditions but even worse to imply that homeopathy is of any use in a first aid setting and that homeopaths can act as some sort of 'first responder'.

Comment policy: I enthusiastically welcome corrections and I entertain polite disagreement ;) Because of the nature of this blog it attracts a LOT - 5 a day at the moment - of spam comments (I write about spam practices,misleading marketing and unevidenced quackery) and so I'm more likely to post a pasted version of your comment, removing any hyperlinks.
Comments written in ALL CAPS LOCK will be deleted and I won't publish any pro-homeopathy comments, that ship has sailed I'm afraid (it's nonsense).
