The AMA provides a professional membership body for Doctors and with (or training to work with) Anthroposophic Medicine in the UK. The AMA sponsored the creation of this website. 

The Anthroposophic Medical Association (AMA) is open to all doctors and medical students who have a positive interest in anthroposophic medicine.

We also offer membership to students and professionals in the fields of nursery, midwifery, pharmacy and other paramedical professionals who have a positive interest in anthroposophic ways of working.

The AMA is the professional body of the doctors practising anthroposophic medicine in the United Kingdom and is involved in education, research and medicines legislation. It is affiliated to the I.V.A.A. (International Federation of Anthroposophic Medical Associations). It supports the work of the School of Spiritual Science, and relates particularly to its Medical Section. This has its centre at the Goetheanum, Dornach, Switzerland and has members working throughout the world. It’s criteria for the qualification of Anthroposophic Doctor are supported by the AMA.

Through organising regular meetings and conferences, the AMA provides opportunities for colleagues to meet and study together. Members receive regular British and international newsletters, as well as other occasional mailings. The AMA also supports the English Training in Anthroposophic Medicine.

The AMA aims to support research undertaken by its members related to anthroposophic medicine and its therapies, and it engages in the work concerning medicines legislation as the professional body representing the prescribers’ interests. In this it works closely together with Weleda (UK) Ltd., the pharmaceutical company which manufactures and imports anthroposophic medicines in this country, and internationally in the IVAA.
