New public information leaflets published
The GOsC’s new leaflets provide information about visiting an osteopath and standards of osteopathic care.
Two new public information leaflets produced by the GOsC are now available to provide information for patients about visiting an osteopath and standards of osteopathic care.
‘What to expect from your osteopath’ is for patients who are considering osteopathy for the first time. The information provided reflects the questions we receive from patients and the public seeking reassurance on what to expect during the first and subsequent appointments with an osteopath.
‘Standards of osteopathic care’ aims to help the public know more about the high standards of training, professional skills and behaviour that are the hallmarks of an osteopath registered in the UK. This leaflet responds to the assurances typically sought by other healthcare professionals, notably GPs and NHS commissioners.
Both leaflets were developed in consultation with osteopaths and patients. They can be purchased from the communications department on 020 7357 6655 x242 or email: info@osteopathy.org.uk or visit the publications section of this website at http://www.osteopathy.org.uk/news-and-resources/publications/leaflets
