Latest News - June 2015
Independent research commissioned by the GOsC in 2014 demonstrates "Very High Levels" of confidence (96%) in Osteopathy amongst existing Osteopathic patients and "Fair Levels" of confidence (over 50%) amongst the general public who had not seen an Osteopath.
The research also found that a large proportion of the general public interviewed for the survey (approx 30%) lacked sufficient knowledge about Osteopathy to express an opinion about their levels of potential confidence in the profession.
If these "Don't Knows" were to be converted into "Confidents" the public level of confidence in osteopaths would be comparable to that for GP's, Dentists and Pharmacists.
Clearly there is a need here for more information about Osteopathy to be delivered to the general public.
