1 Share of the homeopath role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the osteopath profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A homeopath role treats 8 of its required skills as things a osteopath already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • comply with legislation related to health care
  • develop therapeutic relationships
  • ensure safety of healthcare users
  • follow-up on healthcare users' treatment
  • human anatomy
  • human physiology

What stands in the way is 10 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A homeopath role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a osteopath background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held follow-up on healthcare users' treatment communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held dietetics health and welfare
  • already held develop therapeutic relationships communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held refer healthcare users assisting and caring
  • already held human physiology health and welfare
  • already held interact with healthcare users communication, collaboration and creativity

All 10 carried skills, including the 8 the homeopath role treats as required.

7 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
