Findings

Within seven days after a hearing, we aim to publish on this website the decision of the committee and details of any sanctions applied to the osteopath.  You can read recent decisions below.  If the sanction applied is conditions of practice or suspension, this will be shown next to the osteopath’s name on the Register, for as long as the sanction applies.

Our Fitness to Practise report, published annually, also includes details of the decisions made by the Professional Conduct Committee and any sanctions applied.  When the committee investigates an allegation and finds that it is not well founded, the osteopath can ask for this to be recorded in the Fitness to Practise report.

Publication of Hearings, Findings and Sanctions is the policy that ensures we meet our legal obligations to publish information relating to the Professional Conduct Committee.

Interim suspension orders

This section contains details of osteopaths whose registration has been suspended pending the investigation or hearing of a complaint.  Any practitioner who is subject to an Interim Suspension Order cannot call themselves an osteopath during the period of suspension.  Click on an osteopath’s name to read details of the suspension order.

Professional Conduct Committee decisions

This section contains details of osteopaths who have recently been the subject of a hearing by the Professional Conduct Committee.  Click on an osteopath's name to read details of the evidence presented at the hearing, the committee’s decision and any action taken against the osteopath.  The committee has the power to deliver an admonishment, impose conditions of practice, suspend the osteopath’s registration for a set period, or permanently remove the osteopath’s name from the Register.
