Snapshot Summaries

NCOR launched our Centre For Reviews and Summaries (CFRS) in early 2017. This will grow into a one-stop-shop for all osteopaths who want to read summaries of the latest evidence relating to osteopathic care and management. Our Snapshot Summaries are intended to provide a brief overview of predominantly manual therapy and osteopathically-relevant research, with references for further reading. They are not intended to be an exhaustive or systematic review of the literature.

Annual mentoring and CPD programme

The CFRS offers mentoring for osteopaths who want to improve their ability to think critically about research. We hope to make places available annually, and to post Snapshot Summaries from osteopaths in the CFRS. If you are interested in joining our next intake, please contact us.
