He served terms on the councils of the British Homeopathic Association and the Faculty of Homeopathy and was the first Pharmacy Dean of the Faculty from 1999 to 2003. He was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the Faculty in 2000. He now serves on several Government bodies in an advisory capacity and is Honorary Consultant Pharmacist at Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital and Visiting Lecturer in complementary medicine at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. He also writes and lectures widely in the UK and overseas on a variety of pharmacy and related healthcare topics. Dr Kayne is a member of the Scottish Executive of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain and Chair of the College of Pharmacy Practice in Scotland.
I have always suggested strongly to new students of homeopathy that
they need to learn how to take a remedy, by which I mean to undergo
the expereince of being a patient if they have not yet done that.
They also need to learn how to prove a remedy - to take part in a
proving. And lastly they need to learn how to make a remedy. This
is the book to help us all do that. Many of us have gone far beyond
our first year with only a hazy notion what goes on benind a
pharmacy counter, even if we had a go at succussion during a
demonstration lesson. This book goes into great detail about about
potencies and scales and how our remedies are made, their history,
the legislation, the may different source materials and standars of
homeopathic pharmacy. It is a unique book, there is nothing else
like it, and it is almost a new book compared with the first
edition 1997. This rudite book is full of surprises. It is a
full-on textbook about homeopathy for pharmacists, but it is also a
textbook about pharmacy for homeopaths. The introduction to
homeopathy is deep and wide and immersed in both the classic
philosophy of homeopathy, and modern research results. Interspersed
with the serious parts are wonderful anecdotes like that one above.
I think the best one involves a computer and a dram of single malt
wiskhy. In case you have not realised this by now Stephen Kayne is
form Glasgow where he is honorary consultant pharmacist, glasgow
Homeopathic Hospital and visiting lecturerein complementary
medicine at the School of Pharmacy, University of Starthclyde. He
was dean of pharmacy for the Faculty of Homeopathy and owner of
Freeman's pharmacy, now manged by his son. One aspect which is
close to current concerns, is how the author tackles competency.
When should a pharmacists attempt an over -the counter
prescription, when should a referral to a homeopath be made? Or
when whould allopath be more appropriate? He is entirely
sympathetic to the Society, prominently named in the resources
list. 'Care must be take to remain within one's limits of
competency.' We homeopaths are not competent if we do not
understand the issues of how remedies are made, and here are the
ideas and information more than competenly explained. The
Homeopath, Winter 2006 "With the growing public interest in
Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), against the backdrop
of speculation and controversy over homeopathy there is a great
need for a text book like this one" "It answers many questions that
health professionals may have concerning Homeopathy" "This is an
essential desk top reference book for all homeopaths, students of
homeopathy and pharmacists" Anita Shah - Royal London Homeopathic
Hospital
Homeopathy, 2006
