  • enabling an osteopath, where the Registrar of the GOsC during his investigation of whether the osteopath’s registration has been fraudulently procured or incorrectly made, proposes to suspend his registration upon being satisfied that it is necessary to do so in order to protect members of the public, to appear before the Investigating Committee of the GOsC to argue against the proposed suspension; and

  • enabling applicants for registration and those already registered to appeal against adverse decision of the Registrar of the GOsC, the procedure for determining such appeals being set out in the Schedule to the rules.
