We are committed to engaging with our stakeholders – osteopaths, patients, other healthcare professionals and all those whom our work affects. We take account of your views and welcome your input into what we do. So we consult our stakeholders when we are planning new areas of work, or when we want to improve the way we do things.
When we have current consultations there is information about them on this page, along with details of how you can respond. We are currently seeking your views about this website; you can tell us what you think on our survey form.
You can also look at past consultations, which you will find at the bottom of the page.
For details of forthcoming Council and Education Committee meetings that are open to the public, space permitting, visit our Meetings page.
When we have other forthcoming events arranged, details will be available here.
We are currently considering and analysing all the feedback we have received during the consultations about the Osteopathic Practice Framework, Osteopathic Practice Standards, the revalidation scheme for osteopaths and the Code of Practice Review.
A report on the first stage of the consultation about the practice framework was published in 2010; there will be further stages of consultation on the framework.
A report on the results of the revalidation scheme consultation was published in December 2009. The results of the consultation will be used to refine the scheme and prepare for a pilot of the proposals during 2011. Governance arrangements for the process of developing the scheme are now in place.
For further information about the development of our revalidation scheme visit our Revalidation page.
After analysing the feedback on the consultations it was decided to integrate the further development of the practice standards and Code of Practice and we will be consulting on these towards the end of 2010. There is a report on the results of the consultation on the Osteopathic Practice Standards in The Osteopath for February/March 2010.
