Mentoring with Claire Piper |
| Welcome to the General Osteopathic Council podcast. In this episode, Steven Bettles, Head of Policy at GOsC, speaks with fellow osteopath Claire Piper about mentorship. Claire shares why mentorship is really useful, not only to less experienced osteopaths who may be looking for support, but also for the osteopaths who have been in the profession a long time and may benefit from becoming a mentor themselves. | |

Shared decision making in practice |
| Welcome to the General Osteopathic Council podcast. This episode is slightly different to the others, as this was recorded back in September 2018. It's a discussion with Professor Bill Fulford of the Collaborating Centre for Values Based Practice, and the late and much missed Professor Stephen Tyreman of the University College of Osteopathy, and it explores the concept of values based practice, what this means and how it can be implemented. Both Bill Fulford and Stephen Tyreman were instrumental in supporting us develop our own thinking in this area, in collaboration with osteopaths, patients, educators and others, and this led to the development of our resources to support osteopaths and patients to make decisions about care together, taking into account what's important to each of them. These are available on our website here. We're grateful to Stephen's family for allowing us to continue to use this recording, and we hope that you find it helpful. |
