I spent the weekend in London at the Annual Institute of Osteopathy Conference. This year it was celebrating 30 years since osteopathy was officially recognised and the Osteopaths Act 1993 was passed through Parliament, making osteopathy a protected title and, as such, illegal to call yourself an osteopath unless you have had the appropriate training. A key architect in pushing the Osteopaths Act through was the then Prince Charles, so it was a pleasant surprise when the speaker at the conference read out a personal statement from King Charles wishing the profession well.
It was a double celebration as we had our 30 year graduation reunion as well, so it was lovely to see some faces that I had not seen for quite a few years!
