An osteopath who is the subject of a complaint is entitled to legal representation at a hearing before the Professional Conduct Committee (PCC).
The leaflet Notice to Osteopaths and Legal Representatives contains information about the General Osteopathic Council’s Fitness to Practise (FTP) process for people involved in a PCC hearing.
It also includes details of the statutory time limits for the different stages of the proceedings, from when notice of the allegation is first received by the osteopath to when written witness statements and skeleton arguments must be submitted before the hearing.
