Osteopathic patient recruitment


StaceyTow

Recommended Posts

At the General Osteopathic Council we want to actively involve patients and the public in the work we do.


We are recruiting osteopathic patients and members of the public to take part in a range of upcoming events, focus groups, surveys and consultations so we can hear your views.


It is important that the public has have confidence in the quality and safety of osteopathic care. Our aim is to ensure that we understand your needs, views and concerns so that we can improve our patient information and our guidance for osteopaths. By sharing your insight, you can help us to do that, especially in the context of COVID 19.


Whether you've got lots of time to spare or only a little, and whatever your experience of osteopathic care, we hope you'll find an opportunity that interests you. Payment and expenses covered.

If you have a question and would like to speak to us, please email us at [email protected].

Have you visited an osteopath in the last 12 months? If so, we would like to hear from you. The GOsC is hosting online focus groups with patients to seek their perspectives on osteopathic practice in light of the coronavirus pandemic.


We want to better understand what concerns you might have about receiving treatment as well as the issues would you like your osteopath to consider before, during and after your treatment.



We are seeking feedback on a range of topics including:



-whether you have recently sought or intend to seek osteopathic treatment during the coronavirus pandemic


-the use of Personal Protective Equipment


-the use of telehealth (treatment over the phone or via video conferencing)




If you are interested in taking part, the online discussion will last around 1 to 1.5hrs and ?50 will be offered to participating patients as a thank you for their time.



To find out more, please email Stacey Towle and Rachel Heatley on [email protected]

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
