The Forum for
Osteopathic Regulation in Europe
(FORE) brings together national
Registers and Competent Authorities for
osteopathy across Europe.
FORE's mission is to protect European patients, promote confidence in osteopathic professionals and be at the forefront of healthcare regulation in Europe.
Aims
Our aim is to ensure that European citizens receive safe and effective osteopathic care by providing excellence in:
*
Codes of Conduct
*
Standards of Practice
*
Standards of Education and Training
*
Continuous Professional Development
*
Proactive information exchange between Registers / Competent Authorities
Objectives
To achieve this FORE:
*
promotes excellence and public protection both at national and European levels.
*
acts as a reference point for any party (osteopaths, educational institutions, Governments and public) seeking unbiased and reliable information on osteopathic regulation across Europe.
*
participates actively in policy development, at European level, with a focus on patient protection and professional mobility,
*
proactively exchanges information on registration matters, fitness to practise issues, training standards and codes of conduct across Europe (European database of osteopathic regulators),
*
Supports regulation of osteopathy as an autonomous healthcare profession in those European countries where this does not currently exist, thereby improving patient access to osteopathic care.
