Education and osteopathic standards are very important to me. I think that the CEN Document voted in 2015 as being the European norm is very important. Educational standards differs across the EU, and to have a guiding document is of great importance.
Since 2016 – I work as a Consultant to Austrian Standards Institute as an Auditor for Certification of Osteopathic Schools.
Osteopathy is fantastic, education is important! Everyone needs an osteopath!
Personal reflection – We can all be good osteopaths, but during my years of basic training and CPD I have attending many courses and will say this –
The men are always very sure of what the problem is, the women are very unsure to voice their opinion, but most of the time the women are right!
We need strong women and we need to encourage women to believe in their self and in their abilities!
