Who we are
FORE brings together osteopathic associations, voluntary registers and Government-recognised regulators to improve standards of osteopathic care across Europe. Our vision is underpinned by the following strategic aims to:
- Achieve the recognition and regulation of osteopathy as an autonomous healthcare profession
- Ensure that standards of osteopathic treatment across Europe are progressively more consistent
- Promote greater awareness of osteopathy and how, properly regulated, it can make a significant contribution to improving the health of European citizens
- Provide an inclusive and transparent forum to facilitate effective decision-making by FORE members
- Cooperate with other organisations sharing the aims of FORE.
