Consultations
In this section
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.
In this section, you will find information on current consultations, previous consultations and their outcomes as well as the consultation we have contributed to externally.
External consultations
As part of our work with patients, osteopaths, educators, other healthcare professionals, policy makers and the wider public, we respond to consultations from other organisations. This gives us the opportunity to share our views and contribute to discussions about healthcare, education and regulation.
Here is a list of the consultations we have carried out over the past five years. If you would like information about consultations prior to these, please email info@osteopathy.org.uk
