Graduates
Trainees who successfully complete our Osteopathy course and graduate from the London College of Osteopathic Medicine are awarded Membership of the College. The skills acquired on the course enable our graduates to practice osteopathy privately, or within the NHS or equivalent organisations. However, only those who also register with the General Osteopathy Council may use the professional title of Osteopath.
On completing their course, our graduates enter a lively community of medical osteopaths working within the UK and around the world. Many graduates also join the Association of Medical Osteopaths as a means of retaining contact with the College and with their fellow graduates. A formal educational meeting of the Association is held at the College each year, and a Directory of members is maintained.
An informal group of graduates of the College also meets two or three times each year to revise and review techniques and clinical problems. After some time in osteopathic practice, graduates may return to take up a teaching role at the College or within another institution.
What Our Graduates Say

Often patients feel the benefits before leaving the consultation room. How often do we get that in medicine? ...”
“... Qualifying at LCOM was the best thing I’ve done for patients since becoming a doctor in 1990. I now see about 50 musculoskeletal patients a week as a GP in the NHS, and treating them osteopathically there and then is fantastic. There’s no doubt that osteopathy works and works well ...”
“... My perfect answer to GP burnout; this course transformed my professional life and gave me the fulfillment I still enjoy today from practice. It gives you the method to diagnose those difficult pains, and treat them positively and effectively. ...”
