Across Aotearoa, osteopaths are coming together in peer groups to learn, share, and support each other. Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, peer groups offer a relaxed space to:

Discuss real cases
Build meaningful professional relationships
Hear from guest speakers
Swap Clinical Tips
Earn CPD points

“It’s like having your own team of mentors and mates — in your region!”

Why Join a Peer Group?

• Learn from others’ clinical wins and challenges.

• Feel supported in your practice (especially in your early years).

• It’s relaxed, welcoming, and you don’t have to “present” to participate.

“Peer groups are the heartbeat of the profession — they keep you connected, current, and confident.”

Prefer Smaller Gatherings?

You can also create or join informal meetups with other local osteopaths — coffee catch-ups, study pods, or case chats. We’re here to support whatever works for you.
