TRAINING, REGISTRATION AND PATIENT PROTECTION
A Registered Osteopath will have undergone a demanding 4-year training involving in-depth study of
anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics and clinical methods, as well as extensive practical skills.
Osteopathy is the first complementary healthcare profession to gain full statutory recognition under The
Osteopaths Act (1993)
which in turn led to the formation of the
General Osteopathic Council (GOsC)
and Register of Osteopaths. Only practitioners who have shown they are competent and safe to practice are
allowed on the Register. This affords the general public the same level of protection as when visiting a GP or
Dentist. In addition to this to fulfill the GOsC’s registration criteria Osteopaths must undertake ongoing
postgraduate studies (Continual Professional Development).
