Introducing Anthony

Anthony Kanutin was born and bred in Southend-On-Sea. He has been established in practice since 1984 at Milton Road Westcliff having qualified at The British School of Osteopathy (BSO), now called "University College of Osteopathy".

After being asked back to the BSO as a clinic tutor in 1985, he was involved in training and assessment of student osteopaths in clinical practice for many years.

In 1991 he became one of the first osteopaths to work within the NHS after the introduction of GP fundholding, running clinics at Family Health Care in Leigh-on-Sea until 2011. The City practice "Back in the City" was opened in 2000, initially in Fenchurch Street then within Medicentre (walk in private doctor surgery) in Cheapside, near Bank station and was located finally at  7 Well Court, London EC4 M 9DN just off Bow Lane / Cheapside.

He has acted (and still acts) as an external examiner in assessing clinical competence in final year osteopathic students for numerous osteopathic educational institutions since 1999. This checks that students have the necessary clinical skills to practice independently.

Another role has been the assessment of osteopaths from outside the European Union who wish to practice within the U.K. to check for clinical competence in line with UK standards.

Anthony was appointed (in 2009), by the Appointments Commission, to the Professional Conduct Committee for The General Osteopathic Council, which is the statutory regulator of the osteopathic profession, and was reappointed for another 4-year term of office.

He now sits as a panel chair on the Fitness to Practice committee for the Nursing & Midwifery professions (NMC) and has been in this role for over 6 years

Anthony was an Osteopathic course reviewer for the Quality Assurance Agency (which monitors and maintains standards in higher education). He undertook the initial recognition review of the Osteopathic course at Leeds Metropolitan University, and the initial BSO Undergraduate Masters’ course.

International experience came as an external examiner for the University of Wales who validated an Osteopathic degree course within Hamburg Germany.

Anthony attends many postgraduate courses including one at the national sports medicine institute in core stability.

All of this clinical experience and assessment means Anthony has seen a hugely diverse array of approaches to osteopathic practice, allowing him the ability to draw on this when tackling difficult clinical problems, as well as striving for best practice.

Anthony has lectured students at the London School of Osteopathy on consent and communication.

Anthony has run several training courses abroad for qualified Osteopaths in clinical competence assessment.  This allows them to examine final year Osteopathic students, to check and ensure they are safe to practice independently . This also helps to keep Anthony focus on best practise and up to date.
