Consultations and events
We are committed to working with osteopaths, patients, other healthcare professionals and all those with an interest in osteopathic care and the work of the GOsC. Through consultations, we invite your views when we are planning new areas of work or changing the way we do things. We always welcome suggestions for improving the way we do things and we tell you below about how you can send us feedback.
Current Consultations
- Draft Guidance for Applicants and Students with a Disability or Health Condition
In 2016 we published guidance on Students with a Disability or Health Condition – Guidance for Osteopathic Educational Institutions and Guidance for Applicants and Students with a Disability or Health Condition. We have now updated this guidance and we are seeing feedback which will help to inform the final version.
Draft guidance we are consulting on
- Draft: Students with a Disability or Health Condition: Guidance for Osteopathic Education Providers
- Draft: Guidance for Applicants and Students with a Disability or Health Condition
How to respond
The deadline for responses is Friday 29 November 2024.
Easy Read versions
Taking on board feedback we've received, we have also developed ‘Easy Read’ versions which we are also inviting views on. Utilising ‘Easy Read’ will allow us to make the written information easier to understand with short, simple sentences and pictures.

Involving patients in our work
We are looking for osteopathic patients to be actively involved in the work we do so we can listen, learn and better understand the patient perspective. If you are interested and willing to use your unique experience to help make a difference to future osteopathic care, we would love to hear from you. Find out more
