Osteopathic Practice Standards consultation reports available

2 June 2011

Reports on the 2010 consultation and the action we took arising from the feedback received are now available.

The final report from the Osteopathic Practice Standards consultation, produced for the GOsC by independent consultants Hewell Taylor Freed and Associates (HTF), is now available on this website.

We received responses on a very wide range of issues and, so that we can share openly all the feedback we received, and explain what action we took arising from the feedback, we have produced a detailed response to the consultation, which is also available on this website. Hard copies of both reports are available on request.

In addition, there is an equality impact assessment, which was carried out to identify any equality and diversity issues that might arise from the introduction of the new standards.

Following this, the new Osteopathic Practice Standards will be published on 31 July 2011, to take effect from 1 September 2012. Further information about the publication of the new standards and the measures we will be taking to support their introduction will be available on this website in due course.
