There's an intangible benefit to membership, something you don't realise until you haven't got it.
It's called Peace of Mind.
Our profession can be very lonely. Being self-employed, or running a small business can be very stressful.
Membership of The Academy not only provides you with access to cutting edge CPD, it provides you with help and support from like-minded people, who have experienced the same problems as you.
Whether you need support when somebody makes a complaint about you, advice on setting up a practice, guidance on advertising rules, help when the General Council audits you, or just someone to talk to - The Academy is here for you.
The Academy - not just CPD
"Great, pertinent content, professionally presented.. a real asset to any practitioner wanting to enhance their knowledge base and not just tick the CPD box!"
"Invaluable, professional and friendly service. Blown away by the support and organisation.
A must-have in my book."
"I have been a member since the academy started and have only ever had positive experiences.
The team have been very helpful."
The Completely Free Stuff

Student/New Graduate

As a student, you don't need CPD, but you're hungry for knowledge. APM provides that, but it also gives you access to a much wider community of qualified practitioners.
To help you in your early stages, student membership is just £5 per month AND you remain on this rate for a full year after you graduate.
Full Member, Low-Cost
£27.60
/month
Low-Cost membership is for qualified practitioners who want access to the best CPD around, at the best possible rate.
It's a one-year, rolling contract, paid either as a single amount or in monthly instalments (at no extra cost).
Most practioners choose this membership.
Full Member, Low-Commitment
£44.40
/month
Low-Commitment membership gives you the same access as our Low-Cost option, but you can cancel at any time.

Student/New Graduate
Of course you don't NEED anything more on your academic plate.
But The Academy is a fantastic forum for interacting with other osteopaths and chiropractors outside the narrow confines of your college.
We're also a great source of down-to-earth, independent advice on a whole host of topics. Those could be medical questions, queries about how best to go about setting up your own practice, where to get the best value malpractice insurance or any number of other concerns.
After you graduate, it'll probably take you a while to settle in to your new profession, so we keep your membership fee at the same ridiculously low rate (£6 per month) for a whole year.

The bottom line is I find APM invaluable for CPD. The Academy has made CPD so much more convenient, rewarding, inspiring, easier to digest, implement in practice, and write up and record for GOsC. APM gives me access to top quality CPD by a full range of experts in multiple areas of relevance to osteopaths in a way that I couldn't have accessed previously. I thoroughly enjoy the convenient, easy to process, well presented chunks of information.
As it fits in with my working week, I find I am continuously updating my knowledge base and feeling inspired. I finally feel part of a diverse manual therapy community whilst feeling more confident in what my role is within that community, my own specialisms and how to access other experts for my patients. The APM team are so reassuring and helpful and I feel continuously supported and bolstered by my membership.
