Putting Herbal Medicines into Practice
Read the powerpoints from the seminar here
On July 6th we held a one-day symposium hosted at Kew’s Jodrell Laboratory bringing together clinicians, practitioners, scientists, students and patients to examine quality Herbal Medicinal Products (HMP) and what they can offer, from clinical, regulatory, industry, research, practitioner and end-user perspectives.
We have brought together powerpoint slides of the day together below. For those not at the event, we will be publishing summaries of some of the talks in our July newsletter. Sign up here to receive it.
