Dear GOsC,

The osteopathic profession is facing a period of unprecedented uncertainty. The Coronavirus pandemic is affecting all osteopaths. Many colleagues have needed to close their clinics for the foreseeable future, while others are experiencing a large reduction in patient numbers as we follow government advice. We are all experiencing loss of income.

It would be a huge help to your registrants if you were to suspend registration fees for the next 3 months. After this interim period the situation may be clearer and the ongoing implications of Coronavirus for the practice of osteopathy around the UK may be better understood.

Thank you

Luc Woods
