Abstract
The survey was designed to study the attitudes of a sample of pharmacists, technicians
and unqualified staff towards homœopathy, and their understanding of the principles
involved.
The most significant findings were that the majority of those who expressed a view
(i.e. excluding the don't knows) were favourable to homœopathy, but there was little
understanding of the subject. Most pharmacists thought that homœopathic medicines
worked ‘by faith’. An urgent need for an education programme was demonstrated.
