Presentations on the adverse events studies
The General Osteopathic Council, regulator of osteopathy in the United Kingdom, commissioned four research projects to investigate adverse events associated with osteopathic practice. We currently have presentations on two of these studies:
Adverse Events in Manual Therapy (2009)
Adverse events associated with physical interventions in osteopathy and relevant manual therapies.
This study is a systematic review of published literature to investigate the risks associated with manual therapy. For more information visit the adverse events studies page.

This study explored insurance claim trends and patient complaints to the profession’s regulator. For more information visit the adverse events studies page.

This presentation is on the Osteopathic Patient Expectations study. It was commissioned by the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) to gain a deeper understanding of patients’ expectations of osteopaths and osteopathic treatment, and the extent to which these are met. GOsC have more information here.
