HOW IS THE AMA RUN?According to our constitution, the AMA is run by a council of 5-9 members, consisting of a Treasurer, Secretary and optional Chair role. Council positions are held for up to 3 years and representatives are elected at our AGM which occurs every 12-18 months. The council meet via video conference every 4-12 weeks at a mutually convenient time to discuss current matters including, but not limited to:
The meetings are often as much as a friendly catch up as they are a formal business meeting, and any AMA member is welcome to contact us regarding issues which they feel need to be addressed. Members have access to the AMA Forum, in which they can read the minutes of meetings, and to the membership directory, from which they can contact other AMA members. | RESOURCES FROM THE AMAWe have written a guide for UK-based doctors and nurses on what we consider essential information for practising Anthroposophic Medicine and Nursing. It was written collaboratively by the AMA and includes tips on setting up a private practice and links to useful resources and organisations. INTRODUCTION Starting out as a practising Anthroposophic Physician in the UK can be daunting. The Anthroposophic Medical Association has put together this information pack for doctors to help you to get set up efficiently and safely. Doctors remain responsible for the decisions they take but we hope that this information will act as a useful guide to get you started. The Anthroposophic Medical Association has produced this guide for the benefit of medical doctors working in the United Kingdom and it is correct, to the best of our knowledge, at the time of publication. We strongly recommend becoming a member of the Anthroposophic Medical Association in order to support the preparation and maintenance of such resources, and to gain access to peer support networks, education and news updates, as well as various other members benefits...... |
