Annual Report and Accounts for 2021-22 published

Covering the year to 31 March 2022, our Annual Report has now been laid before both Houses of Parliament.

Council Chair Dr Bill Gunnyeon draws attention to our upcoming work on developing a new strategy for GOsC, which will set the direction through to the end of this decade explaining that we are: ‘committed to ensuring the new strategy is informed by the views of, and understood by, osteopaths, patients, and our wider stakeholders’.

In his introduction, Matthew explains that we have continued to provide a range of support to the profession including myth-busting webinars around the concerns process. He also recognises that osteopaths continued to adjust to new ways of working through the continued implementation of infection control procedures. Speaking directly to the profession, Matthew commented: ‘Your dedication to your patients continues to be inspiring to me and my team at the GOsC’.

Matthew also reports that we have agreed to co-fund an important piece of research which will highlight the experiences of under-represented groups in osteopathic education and training, recognising that ‘a profession which is diverse and which more closely reflects our society is a stronger profession’.
