The GOsC’s Annual Report and Accounts for 2015-16 provides an overview of our work during this period as well as the financial report for the year.

We are consulting on new guidance about the factors that the GOsC Registrar will take into consideration when an osteopath requests to be removed from the Register of osteopaths (voluntary removal) and would welcome your views.

We are now recruiting for six osteopaths to take on the dual roles of education visitor and registration assessor.

An app that collects feedback directly from patients to demonstrate the outcomes of osteopathic care is the focus of our leading article, which includes an osteopath’s experience of adopting the app.

Witnesses at fitness to practise hearings play a vital role in helping the GOsC to maintain public safety.

A proposal to establish a single Policy Advisory Committee covering the work of the existing policy committees is one of the papers the new Council will consider.

Have you added your voice to our review of the Osteopathic Practice Standards yet? Five years after they were first developed, we’re taking a critical look at the standards, their accompanying guidance and the resources we provide to help you meet them – we want to know where and how you think we can make improvements.

The latest version of the GOsC’s Corporate Strategy sets out what we aim to achieve over the next three years and while much of our activity, such as maintaining the Register and dealing with complaints, remains unchanged, the strategy does set out new areas of work.
