Homeopathic medicine has been available in Bristol since 1852, when Dr Black first started dispensing from premises in the Triangle.
During the next 69 years the service developed and expanded culminating in the commissioning in 1921 of a new hospital in the grounds of Cotham House. The Bristol Homeopathic Hospital continued to provide a full range of services until 1986 when the in-patient facilities were transferred to the Bristol Eye Hospital, where they continue to be provided, and outpatient services were moved to the ground floor of the Cotham Hill site.
In 1994, following the sale of the main building to the University by the Bristol and District Health Authority, a new purpose built Department has been provided in the Annexe buildings of the main building, adjoining the original Cotham House.
