General Osteopathic Council

We work with osteopaths, patients, and partner organisations to support safe, high quality patient care. We also work to maintain public confidence in osteopathy by protecting the reputation of the osteopathic profession.

It is our role to protect the health, safety and wellbeing of the public, and to protect the reputation of the osteopathic profession. We are responsible for making sure the public continue to have confidence in the profession of osteopathy, and we are responsible for the professional standards that osteopaths and osteopathic students must follow in order to practise safely.

We do this by keeping our public Register of osteopaths up to date, and by promoting high standards of practice and conduct, setting standards for osteopathic education and training, investigating concerns about osteopaths, and protecting the osteopathic title from misuse.
