Oliver is also an Associate Editor for the International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine.

He is also host of The Words Matter Podcast where he has critical discussions with leading academic-clinicians across the MSK spectrum on topics related to person-centred care, clinical communication, evidence-based practice and the biopsychosocial model.
