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.
Take part in our CPD survey...
...and claim 30 minutes of CPD time. Complete the survey here. Find out more about the new CPD scheme for osteopaths on our dedicated CPD website.
Read the Osteopathic Practice Standards online
Get to know the updated Osteopathic Practice Standards that come into force on 1 September 2019 by visiting standards.osteopathy.org.uk. You can check the standards wherever you are on your phone, PC or tablet.
