Professionalism and Professional Standards for Osteopaths

Course Introduction:

Professionalism and Professional Standards for Osteopaths is a CPD-accredited course designed for osteopaths registered with the General Osteopathic Council who wish to strengthen professional conduct and regulatory compliance.

The course explores key principles of patient-centred care, integrity, accountability, professional boundaries, confidentiality, documentation, safeguarding, and the duty of candour, ensuring alignment with regulatory expectations and ethical standards.

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

Through structured reflection and practical guidance, participants will develop insight, implement meaningful remediation, and demonstrate ongoing professional growth. This supports patient safety, maintains public trust, and promotes continued registration with the General Osteopathic Council.
