Guidance for students and osteopathic educational institutions
The GOsC publishes guidance on student fitness to practise and the management of health and disability.
The GOsC has published new guidance aimed at osteopathy students and their educational institutions.
Student fitness to practise guidance
Osteopathic educational institutions are responsible for ensuring that only students who are capable of practising to our standards of practice, without supervision, are awarded a Recognised Qualification. The new guidance outlines the role of the osteopathic educational institution in relation to student fitness to practise and suggests a suitable framework for the management of fitness to practise issues.
See Student fitness to practise, for more information about this guidance.
Management of health and disability
Many people with a disability or long-term health condition have the potential to become independent osteopathic practitioners. This guidance is about enabling them to undertake osteopathic education and training and practise osteopathy with or without adjustments to support their practice.
For further information about this guidance see Management of health and disability.
