YOUR PRACTITIONERNATASHA PEACHEY BSc (Hons) Ost LSSM DipRegistered with the General Osteopathic Council
TRAINING, REGISTRATION AND PATIENT PROTECTIONA Registered Osteopath will have undergone a demanding 4-year training involving in-depth study of anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, biomechanics and clinical methods, as well as extensive practical skills. Osteopathy is the first complementary healthcare profession to gain full statutory recognition under The Osteopaths Act (1993) which in turn led to the formation of the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) and Register of Osteopaths. Only practitioners who have shown they are competent and safe to practice are allowed on the Register. This affords the general public the same level of protection as when visiting a GP or Dentist. In addition to this to fulfill the GOsC’s registration criteria Osteopaths must undertake ongoing postgraduate studies. |
