Grant prescribing and injection rights to osteopaths.

Closed 276 signatures

What the petition asks

Osteopathy is a 5 years degree when you learn everything about human body, especially their musculoskeletal structure and function, while physiotherapy and podiatry are much shorter courses who are allowed to prescribe and inject relevant medication. Please support your osteopaths to get this tool.
By granting prescribing and injection rights to osteopaths, we can take pressure off other medical professionals. Physiotherapy and podiatry are shorter courses and osteopathy is not inferior to these professionals. Please support this petition.
