Osteopaths join the Register under new powers
In 2009, we acquired new powers to register individuals who had not applied to register during the original transition period.
In April 2009, the GOsC acquired new powers to allow individuals who did not apply for registration in the initial two-year transition period (1998–2000) to join the Register. Potential registrants had until 31 December 2010 to submit their applications. During this time, we received 55 applications for registration under the new powers. Of those, four applications have so far been successful and the practitioners have joined the Register. We also have a number of other applications currently being processed.
These new powers were sought to address the potential unfairness to pre-2000 UK-qualified practitioners who were precluded from applying for registration once the transition period came to a close.
Applications received before 31 December 2010 will continue to be processed until they have been completed.
