BS EN 16686:2015 specifies the requirements and recommendations regarding the healthcare provision, facilities and equipment, education, and ethical framework for the good practice of osteopathy.
Osteopathy is a primary contact and patient-centred healthcare discipline, that emphasizes the interrelationship of structure and function of the body, facilitates the bodys innate ability to heal itself, and supports a whole-person approach to all aspects of health and healthy development, principally by the practice of manual treatment.
Patients who choose osteopathic treatment have to be assured of the quality and the standard of care that they will receive.
BS EN 16686:2015 is concerned with the provision of osteopathic diagnosis, treatment and care. It aspires to set a standard that provides for high quality clinical practice, education, safety and ethics for the benefit of patients.
This European Standard does not supersede national legislation.
The practice of osteopathy uses osteopathic, medical and scientific knowledge to apply the principles of osteopathy to patient diagnosis and treatment.
The aim of osteopathy is to improve and support all aspects of health and healthy development. Osteopathic treatment may be preventive, curative, palliative or adjuvant.
Osteopaths analyse and evaluate the structural and functional integrity of the body using critical reasoning of
opathic principles to inform individual diagnosis and treatment of the patient.
The osteopathic approach to healthcare is patient-centred and focused on the patients health rather than disease-centred.
Scientific rigour and evidence-informed practice are an important part of patient treatment and case management.
