Proposed changes to General Osteopathic Council Constitution

The proposal aims to reduce the size of the GOsC’s governing council, by making amendments to The General Osteopathic Council (Constitution) Order 2009.

The GOsC is seeking to reduce its board from 14 to 10 members, following steps taken by a number of other councils to gain benefits from having a smaller, more strategic board.

Current GOsC members will be able to reapply to be members of the new GOsC, but their tenure will not automatically be carried across. However, it is proposed that the chair will remain in post to make sure there is continuity of leadership throughout the changes.
