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.
Before your first appointment with an osteopath...
...check that the osteopath is registered with the GOsC. You can do this by checking the Register on this website. Osteopaths can use this Registration Mark on their websites or in patient leaflets to show they are registered.
Visit the new CPD scheme website...
...to find out more about the new CPD scheme for osteopaths, launched in October. The first people on the new scheme were those renewing their registration in December and more join each month when they renew their registration.
