Raising a Concern

Maintaining patient safety and public confidence in the osteopathic profession sits at the heart of fitness to practise and, by law, we must investigate and consider concerns about osteopaths’ conduct, competence or health.

Every osteopath in the UK must be registered with us and must follow our Osteopathic Practice Standards, which set out the standards and guidelines for the safe and competent practice of osteopathy.

Here you will find details on how you can raise a concern, the type of concerns we can investigate, the fitness to practise process, and the actions we can take to protect and maintain patient safety and public confidence in the osteopathic profession.
