The report on the findings of the consultation on a new CPD scheme for osteopaths has been published.

The latest issue of the osteopath is now available and can be read on this website. The magazine includes a round-up of GOsC news, other health news, research updates, book reviews and more.

The report on the analysis of the results of our recent CPD consultation is one of the agenda items for the forthcoming meeting of the Osteopathic Practice Committee in the morning of 13 October.

The closing date for our consultation on draft guidance for the GOsC’s Health Committee on conditions that may be imposed on an osteopath’s practice is 6 October 2015.

Nine out of ten patients think it is important to give feedback to an osteopath about their experience of osteopathic treatment. If you would find it difficult to do that directly or you feel that your story would be of interest to all osteopaths you can give feedback anonymously to the National Council for Osteopathic Research (NCOR) through a dedicated website.

Alison White has been reappointed as Chair of the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) for a second term of four years, from 1 April 2016.

More findings from our recent research into patient and public perceptions of osteopathy are highlighted in our leading article, ‘What do patients expect from their treatment?’ In it we look at what new patients want to know on their first visit.

The Department of Health (England) has launched a consultation on reducing the size of the GOsC Council from 14 to 10 members.
