Bristol Homeopathic Hospital

The Homeopathic Hospital in Bristol is situated nearby to the main hospitals, at the top of St Michael’s Hill. It looks small from the outside but is quite an extensive building. I haven’t even received treatment from here, instead making use of their beautiful herb garden in the summer. Even spending time here gives out the feeling of calm and healing, and you can visit for free. The great thing about this hospital is that it is part of the NHS and not private, so everyone can make use of what they have to offer. Definitely worth a try, even if you’re sceptical.

The homeopathic hospital is based at the top of Cotham Hill, in a long old building with a beautiful indoor courtyard. I used to come here when I was slightly younger, and was very impressed with the service they gave. For a start, the actual premises felt very far removed from the traditional sense of a ‘hospital’. Rather than white washed walls and bright lighting, the theme is all low lit and warm browny colours, which immediately puts you at ease.
The service was also very good — I think they only had a handful of doctors that would see outpatients, but the doctor I saw was massively friendly and made a great impression on me — he had a grandfather vibe about him, and would always take the time to listen, and explain situations very calmly, concisely and efficiently. It’s an NHS hospital which is quite surprising for homeopathy, but if that’s the route you need to take for treatment then make the most of it; this is a really excellent hospital.
