The General Osteopathic Council regulates osteopaths in the UK
We work with the public and the osteopathic profession to promote patient safety by setting, maintaining and developing standards of osteopathic practice and conduct.
Check the register
By law osteopaths must be registered with us in order to practise in the UK.
You can search by surname, postcode, town, county, country or registration number.
