All osteopaths are skilled practitioners, have trained to a high level and are registered with, and regulated by, the General Osteopathic Council.
All GOsC registered osteopaths must follow high standards of professional conduct and behaviour. Under the terms of their registration they must also commit to undertaking continuing professional development.
Osteopaths have medical malpractice insurance and statutory regulation ensures that patients have the same safeguards as when they consult a doctor or dentist.
