A General Osteopathic Council investigation is serious - but osteopaths who engage early with targeted CPD, genuine reflection, and a structured remediation plan consistently achieve better outcomes. These courses are built specifically for the GOsC process.
Each course is aligned to the Osteopathic Practice Standards - the framework GOsC uses in every fitness to practise case. Use the category tabs to identify the standard most relevant to your concern.
These two courses are written specifically for osteopaths facing General Osteopathic Council fitness to practise investigations - addressing the exact professional standards GOsC applies when assessing your case.
When GOsC concerns relate to ethical failures in osteopathic practice - consent issues, patient confidentiality, or conduct conflicting with the ethical provisions of the Osteopathic Practice Standards - this course addresses those specific areas. Mapped directly to GOsC standards.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsBuilt around the Osteopathic Practice Standards professional provisions - the framework GOsC uses to assess every osteopath they investigate. Examines what professional conduct requires in osteopathic practice and how GOsC committees evaluate compliance.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsOsteopaths come to this category when GOsC concerns involve an ethical failing - consent, confidentiality, or conduct that conflicts with the ethical foundations of the Osteopathic Practice Standards.
When GMC concerns centre on ethics - consent issues, truthfulness with patients, or conflicts of interest - this course addresses those specific Code areas. You work through the four principles of medical ethics as they apply in UK practice, then trace how each connects to Good Medical Practice.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsA broader grounding in applied healthcare ethics - useful when a GMC concern touches multiple ethical areas rather than one principle. Covers moral reasoning frameworks, real-world dilemmas, and how regulators assess ethical fitness.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsThe most comprehensive medical ethics course in our library. 2.5 CPD hours covering the full spectrum of ethical obligations facing UK doctors. Particularly relevant for serious GMC cases involving multiple ethical concerns.
CPD UK Certified · 2.5 CPD ptsWhere the Medical Ethics course covers principles, this covers practice - the daily ethical decisions doctors face and how to handle them well. Examines the grey areas where most GMC cases arise.
CPD UK Certified · 2.5 CPD ptsBoundary concerns are among the most common and serious issues in GMC cases. This course examines where professional boundaries lie, how they erode gradually, and what genuine boundary maintenance looks like.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsConduct falling below the professional standards in the Osteopathic Practice Standards is the most common source of GOsC referrals - communication failures, documentation lapses, or behaviour GOsC considers incompatible with registration.
Built around the four domains of Good Medical Practice - the actual framework GMC uses to assess every doctor they investigate. Maps professional standards to real clinical scenarios so you understand what compliance looks like in practice.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsA grounding in professionalism across the healthcare context - useful when a GMC concern straddles conduct, teamwork, and general professional behaviour rather than one specific area.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsPoor record-keeping features in a significant proportion of GMC cases. This focused course examines what professional documentation requires - accuracy, completeness, timeliness - and the consequences when it falls short.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsCommunication failures underlie more GMC concerns than almost any other factor. This course examines what effective professional communication looks like and where it most commonly breaks down.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsGMC concerns about behaviour toward colleagues fall under the Working with Colleagues domain. This course examines what GMC expects and how to demonstrate genuine improvement.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsGOsC probity concerns include dishonest documentation, failure to be open with patients after something goes wrong, and financial misconduct. These are treated as fundamental integrity failures.
Probity is the word GMC uses for honesty, integrity, and trustworthiness - covering everything from accurate form-completion to declarations to employers to financial conduct. If your letter from GMC mentions probity, this is where you start.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsWhen GMC concerns involve financial matters - prescribing patterns suggesting commercial influence, undisclosed private interests, or fee irregularities - this course addresses those specific obligations directly.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsThe duty of candour - the obligation to be open and honest when things go wrong - is central to GMC probity expectations. Failures in candour after adverse events are taken seriously. This course examines what candour actually requires.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsConfidentiality breaches generate a significant volume of GMC concerns. This course examines what confidentiality requires in practice, when it can lawfully be broken, and how to avoid the mistakes that lead to investigations.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsConsent issues - inadequate processes, failure to involve patients in decisions - are among the most common causes of GMC referrals. This course covers what valid consent requires and how chaperone obligations connect to it.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsFor osteopaths who want to understand the GOsC process and build a remediation response that case examiners find specific, credible, and complete.
Of all the factors GMC evaluates in a remediation response, genuine insight matters most. This module explains what insight means in the regulatory context - not self-criticism, but demonstrable understanding of what went wrong, why it happened, and why it cannot happen again.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsReflection is a skill, not a natural instinct. This module teaches structured reflection - not vague statements about feeling remorseful, but analysis of what happened, what it means, and how your practice has changed as a result.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsRemediation is not just completing courses. It is a documented process of change that GMC can evaluate. This module explains what a robust response looks like - what to include, how to sequence it, and how to present it so examiners can see genuine improvement.
CPD UK Certified · 1.5 CPD ptsA comprehensive overview of the fitness to practise framework - what triggers investigations, how cases are assessed, and what outcomes are possible. Useful for doctors who are new to the process and need to understand what they are dealing with.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsOne of the central questions in any GMC case is whether the same thing will happen again. This course builds the tools to answer that convincingly - identifying root causes, implementing personal safeguards, and documenting changes that reduce the risk of recurrence.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsGiven the hands-on nature of osteopathic practice, boundary concerns are taken particularly seriously by GOsC. Maintaining appropriate professional relationships is a core expectation of the Osteopathic Practice Standards.
Professional boundaries exist to protect patients - and doctors. When they are crossed, even gradually without deliberate intent, careers can end. This course examines where the lines are drawn and how to maintain them when the pressure to compromise is real.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsSocial media has created new categories of professional boundary violation. Inappropriate online conduct - from patient contact to public commentary on cases - generates GMC referrals as readily as conduct in the clinic.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsA GMC investigation damages trust. This course focuses on what genuine trust-rebuilding looks like - not performative gestures but sustained changes in behaviour that colleagues, employers, and patients can observe and verify.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsConcerns about discriminatory treatment, failure to maintain patient dignity, or biased professional conduct are taken seriously by GMC under professional standards and equalities law. This course examines what those obligations require.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsWhere concerns relate to clinical competence - errors in judgement, outdated practice, or knowledge gaps - this course addresses the competence domain of Good Medical Practice and how to demonstrate competence has been restored.
CPD UK Certified · 2 CPD ptsA credible remediation response is not a list of certificates. It is a structured body of evidence that tells a coherent story of genuine change.

FTP Courses exists because UK healthcare professionals facing regulatory investigations deserve more than generic CPD. They deserve targeted, evidence-based learning that directly addresses the standards their regulator is assessing - and they deserve it to be available immediately, when they need it most.
We built this platform specifically for nurses, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, and allied health professionals who have received a letter from their regulator and need to respond well. Every course is written for that specific purpose - not adapted from routine CPD, but built from the ground up for the regulatory context.
Our content is developed with awareness of how UK regulatory bodies assess insight, remediation, and professional fitness. We understand what case examiners look for, how panels evaluate evidence, and what genuinely good remediation looks like. That understanding shapes every word of every course.
FTP Courses was established with a single goal: provide UK-registered healthcare professionals with CPD that actually helps when they face regulatory concerns.
All courses were independently certified by CPD UK, establishing the accreditation standard that makes our certificates accepted as formal remediation evidence.
Coverage extended across all major UK healthcare regulatory bodies - GMC, NMC, GDC, GPhC, HCPC, GOC, GCC, GOsC, and Social Work England.
Over one thousand UK healthcare professionals have used FTP Courses as part of their regulatory remediation response. Our courses are regularly recommended by solicitors and defence organisations.
A dedicated platform making it faster and easier for professionals to identify the right courses, purchase securely, and access their learning immediately - with certificates issued on completion.
Verified experiences from UK-registered osteopaths who used FTP Courses as part of their GOsC remediation response. Names and details shared with permission.
An unexpected GOsC concern felt completely overwhelming. The courses on ethics, professionalism and insight gave me the frameworks to write a response that engaged genuinely with the Osteopathic Practice Standards. My solicitor said my remediation bundle was among the most complete she had seen from an osteopath.
The boundary awareness and professional standards courses directly addressed the concerns GOsC had raised. I completed them within two weeks of my notification and submitted my response with a structured reflective portfolio. The case was resolved at the case examiner stage.
I had never encountered the fitness to practise process before my GOsC notification. The FTP course module explained everything clearly, and the Insight module gave me the tools to demonstrate genuine understanding of what had gone wrong. My GOsC response was submitted within six weeks.
Osteopaths who navigate GOsC investigations most effectively are those who engage early, build targeted evidence, and demonstrate clear change. Immediate access on purchase.
