The General Osteopathic Council regulates
the practice of osteopathy in the United Kingdom. By law osteopaths must be registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) in order to practise in the UK.
We work with the public and osteopathic profession to promote patient safety by registering qualified professionals and we set, maintain and develop standards of osteopathic practice and conduct.
The GOsC maintains the Register of osteopaths, the complete directory of all osteopaths allowed to practise in the UK. You can use the Register of osteopaths to find a local osteopath.
The UK Statutory Register of Osteopaths includes all those who are allowed to practise osteopathy in the UK.
You can use our Register to find an osteopath near you.
We take your views into account when planning new areas of work or improving the way we do existing work.
