It’s still a while till the CPD scheme officially begins, (September 2018 I believe), and so still plenty of time to get to grips with it, but there are a few misconceptions floating around, that would be better nipped in the bud. So here goes, a little more clarity…. You CAN do your peer review…
J Martin Littlejohn (1865–1947) and James Buchan Littlejohn (1868–1947): Two distinct directions – Osteopathy and the birth of osteopathic medicine John O’Brien, IJOM March 2017, Vol 23 pp 4-10 Seeing as this blog is one lengthy confessional where I lay bare my professional ignorance at the altar of social media, I might as well give…
For someone as irrationally paranoid about having a complaint made against them as I am, it is somewhat paradoxical that I find Osteopathy House, the headquarters of GOsC, to emit such a homely and inviting feel, pulling me like a subtle magnet to Tower Bridge Rd. I can never entirely dislodge the fear that one…
Like the changing of the seasons, or the birth of a new baby, we have no control over the timetable of the new CPD scheme. It’s coming, whether you like it or not. But it probably won’t be entirely, inescapably, in place until about Autumn 2018. Eager to be ahead of the curve, I signed…
It’s been a slightly stressful year for the world, somehow. I’m looking forward to a warming, cheering period of festive fun, and I hope you all have a nice break. Thanks to everyone for reading and contributing, and let’s see what 2017 brings. See you in January, have a nice break.

As most of us do after attending CPD events, we reflect on how we may change our practise or something entirely new that we may incorporate. I thought I would put my reflections on here for myself to revisit and for anyone that is interested in what some of the…
First things first. It had been a lively time in politics since the previous meeting, and I approached Tower Bridge Road prepared for anything. But despite the toppling of leaders, the discombobulation of the political landscape, the intrigue, the treachery, the kitten heels, the venomous, hilarious twitterfest, the sheer unstoppable, unadulterated drama on the news…
I am highly intellectually attracted to skeptics and their writing. Their books are intelligent and entertaining, and they write about subject matters which I find fascinating. If I drew a Venn diagram with skeptics on the one side and alternative therapists on the other, I would be in that segment in the middle. I used…
