Is Osteopathy Regulated?
Osteopathy is regulated by the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC), which maintains a register of practitioners. Only practitioners on the register may practise as an osteopath, thereby maintaining standards and ensuring safety of the public. The GOsC validates osteopathic schools by granting ‘Recognised Qualification’ (RQ) status to schools who achieve the required standard. The College of Osteopaths has successfully achieved ‘RQ’ status, and clinic tutors at the teaching clinic are all registered osteopaths.
