We are the regulator for osteopaths in the United Kingdom. By law, osteopaths must be registered with the GOsC to practise in the UK.
We work with osteopaths, patients, and partner organisations to support safe, high quality patient care. We also work to maintain public confidence in osteopathy by protecting the reputation of the osteopathic profession.
We do this by keeping our public Register of osteopaths up to date, and by promoting high standards of practice and conduct, setting standards for osteopathic education and training, investigating concerns about osteopaths, and protecting the osteopathic title from misuse.
