[post_content] => Sato Liu was awarded an Honorary Fellowship at the Society AGM in April 2023.
Sato has made a significant, consistent and long term contribution to patient access to homeopathy in the UK.
For over 40 years Sato has been involved with homeopathy sitting on, and chairing many committees, supporting patients and the profession.
Although she had known of homeopathy, it was when working for Weleda that she set up the Nottingham Friends of Homeopathy and her interest was truly piqued after attending a talk given by Misha Norland which led her to study at his school in Devon.
However, by the mid-1980s the availability of homeopathic medicines came under threat and led to the founding of The Natural Medicines Society (NMS), a national consumer charity. The NMS’s aim was to harness the consumer voice regarding issues around these natural medicines. Patient access and patient choice has always been a passion for Sato, and so her plans to practice changed direction and moved into campaigning.
She became the NMS’s first Administrator and shortly after, Executive Director. She represented the patient voice on the Parliamentary Group for Alternative and Complementary Medicine from 1989 until 2020.
Covering almost two decades at the NMS, she was also Administrator of its Medicines Advisory Research Committee (MARC), established in the early 1990’s. MARC comprised of doctors, practitioners and pharmacists in natural medicines. MARC negotiated and consulted with the MHRA about the implementation of the EU medicines directive. Members of MARC gave the first ever presentation of these systems of medicine to the government’s medicines licensing authorities as well as to members of the UK Parliament. The work of this committee was instrumental in the creation of a fair and reasonable form of homeopathic product registration in the UK.
In response to an EU Report put forward by MEP Paul Lannoye, in 1992, Sato initiated the UK Forum for Alternative and Complementary Medicine bringing together organisations representing the interests of consumers, practitioners, manufacturers and retailers in the areas of education, research and supply for the majority of ‘non-conventional’ therapies presenting a unified UK approach to ensure that the freedoms already existing were retained. As its Chairman, she represented the forum and lobbied at the European Parliament.
Following the winding down of the NMS in 2005, Sato worked as Special Projects Manager for the Prince’s Foundation for Integrated Health, initially to set up a patient and public involvement group. However, during this time she conducted a review of the 2000 House of Lords’ report on Complementary and Alternative Medicine, monitoring the progress of these recommendations, and responded to the GMC’s undergraduate medical education consultation documents which resulted in productive meetings with the GMC Dean of Education.
After leaving the Prince’s Foundation, she became Campaign Manager for the Friends of the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital (now the Friends of the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine), a charity focused on supporting the hospital and its patients. She represented the Friends for many years at the 4Homeopathy meetings stepping down in January 2023.
Sato has been involved in EFHPA (European Federation of Homeopathic Patients’ Association) since 2010 when she was co-opted and then elected to the Board as Secretary. She represented EFPHA on the Council of the European Committee for Homeopathy (ECH) from 2011 to 2015. In 2019 Sato became President of EFHPA, stepping down in 2022 while remaining on the Board.
