European osteopaths and patients are invited to take part in a significant survey shaping future osteopathic care research.
Osteopaths and their patients in the UK and Europe are invited to participate in a pioneering survey aimed at shaping the future of research in osteopathic care.
Led by Dr Paul Vaucher, a distinguished osteopathic researcher and former professor at the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland, this survey is a collaborative effort between the University College of Osteopathy (UCO), Osteopathy Europe, the Swiss Federation of Osteopaths, NCOR, and COME.
