The College of Osteopaths

The College of Osteopaths is committed to widening access to osteopathic practice so that talented individuals of all ages can fulfil their potential, and the unique part-time pathways into the profession reflects the long history of innovation and inclusiveness on which the College has built its reputation.

The Principal, Pat Hamilton, a graduate of the London School of Osteopathy, brings her expertise in science education and social science research together with valuable experience of partnership work in the higher education sector. Pat has steered the College’s curriculum to the cutting edge of professional developments by introducing a strong business and employability strand, and extending the focus on research skills to all levels of the programme.
