About OsEAN - Osteopathic European Academic Network

The Osteopathic European Academic Network (OsEAN) is an organisation working with a mission for better osteopathic education and bring it to a higher level. Its members share this common mission, exchange values and collaborate with vision for the future. During the past decade Osteopathy in Europe has been expanding at an enormous speed. While it has been legally recognized in a few countries, the standards for training and practice are still different throughout Europe. Our Mission is to contribute significantly to the enhancement of the quality of European osteopathic care, and to act as a major driving force for the development of osteopathy as a recognized and regulated primary healthcare profession with high standards of education, training and practice throughout Europe for the benefit of patients. We work together: to foster collaboration and innovation among our member schools in various areas including administration, education, research and service. to provide a common European representation of schools in a time of emerging European standards to establish and develop common research streams to achieve academic recognition for osteopathy in all countries to develop a standardised model of osteopathic education throughout Europe to develop active scientific, academic and professional communication links – essential for the development of osteopathy, both as an independent, clearly identifiable profession, and in its relationship with other professions in the health care sector to establish high academic teaching standards by making sure that osteopathic lecturers are trained in education. Our Vision for the future is that patients and the public are confident they will receive high standards of osteopathic care no matter where they seek treatment in Europe.
