Paragraph 4 The keeping of the registerI1

The register shall be kept secure in a manner which guards against falsification and to this end the Registrar shall ensure that only he and such persons as have been authorised by him in writing for the purpose shall have access to the register.

Where a conditions of practice order or a suspension order has been made under either section 22 or section 23 of the Act in respect of a registered osteopath, the Registrar shall enter the particulars of the order against the name of the osteopath in the register.

Where an order referred to in paragraph (2) ceases to have effect, is revoked or is replaced by another such order, the Registrar shall remove the entry relating to it in the register and, where the order is replaced by another order, enter the particulars of that order in the register.

The register shall indicate whether a person whose name is in the register is a non-practising osteopath.

The Registrar may, on the application in writing of a registered osteopath, amend the particulars entered in the register in relation to his name and in particular may, where the registration of a conditionally registered osteopath has been converted to full registration in accordance with rule 5, amend the register accordingly.

Before amending the register in accordance with an application made under paragraph (5), the Registrar shall satisfy himself as to the accuracy of the information to be entered in the register and may require the registered osteopath making the application to produce a statutory declaration, a marriage certificate or such other documentary evidence as the Registrar considers appropriate in any case.

In this rule, “non-practising osteopath” means a person who pays a reduced entry fee in accordance with rule 10(1)(a) of the General Osteopathic Council (Application for Registration and Fees) Rules 1998^f1.
