Applications are now open for the Foundation for Paediatric Osteopathy Certificate course 2023 intake.
The OCC’s innovative educational pathway is designed to enable osteopaths to nurture, develop and enhance their specialist skills in paediatrics. Founded on our well-respected Diploma in Paediatric Osteopathy, this pathway includes two stand-alone 1-year courses which can be used to either start your journey in paediatrics or to build upon a journey that has already begun.
The pathway is designed with the flexibility to enable a postgraduate osteopath to structure their own learning journey; either following the courses sequentially and achieving a DPO in 2 years or completing them over a longer period of time.
With this one-year course, osteopaths have the opportunity to spend a year developing their obstetric and paediatric clinical skills in the OCC clinic working collaboratively as part of the team. In addition to ongoing coaching and mentoring, there will be weekly tutorials and seminar weekends dedicated to developing osteopathic skills and treatment of the new-born up to the age of two. The course will include common presentations such as maternal & neonatal postural adaptations, mechanical assisted birth interventions & strains, plagiocephaly, maternal mental health & bonding, feeding issues, sleep, an appreciation of the developmental milestones and an introduction to the unwell child.
The CPO is designed to introduce the osteopath to concepts within paediatric osteopathy which underpin clinical work with the main focus being on common presentations within the 0–2 year age groups. The course will nurture an interest in paediatrics beyond the age ranges taught and, although the focus will be to consider the under 2s, within the clinic the osteopaths would be exposed to all patients, including older children, teenagers, pregnant women and postpartum mums.
The CPO will include:
