Being trusted with a patient's health and wellbeing is a great responsibility, which we don't take lightly. The osteopath must have not only the relevant professional skills, but also a number of professional and personal qualities to ensure the highest standard of care.
An osteopath is expected to have a very good and comprehensive knowledge about health and disease, allowing on one hand to better understand patients as a whole and on the other communicatewith other healthcare professionals. This can only be achieved by continuously developing skills and knowledge, pursuing excellence at all times.
