Ethics and Ethical Standards for Osteopaths

Course Introduction:

Ethics and Ethical Standards for Osteopaths is a CPD-accredited course designed for osteopaths registered with the General Osteopathic Council who wish to strengthen ethical practice, professionalism, and regulatory compliance.

The course explores informed consent, patient safety, professional boundaries, record-keeping, safeguarding, advertising standards, and the duty of candour within osteopathic care, ensuring alignment with ethical and professional expectations.

It is particularly relevant for osteopaths completing continuing professional development (CPD), responding to complaints, or facing fitness to practise investigations.

Through practical guidance and structured reflection, participants will enhance ethical decision-making, demonstrate insight, and protect patient trust, professional reputation, and ongoing registration with the General Osteopathic Council.
