The British School of Osteopathy (BSO)
is the largest and the oldest osteopathic school in the
UK. We are respected throughout the world for providing
excellence in health care, education and research.
The BSO was founded in 1917 and became a charity in
1963. We have the largest osteopathic clinic in Europe,
which supports the community in which we operate and
the students we educate. The cost of treatment in the
clinics is significantly subsidised or, in the case
of our community clinics, free. The School’s educational
activity first gained recognition by the General Council
and Register of Osteopaths in 1938. HRH The Princess
Royal became our Patron in 1984, demonstrating her confidence
in the profession and the BSO.
The BSO plays a fundamental role in the development of
the osteopathic profession, training leaders in the
field, conducting research and setting new standards.
For example, several of our senior academics sit on
General Osteopathic Council committees covering education,
research, continuous professional development and regulation.
As the standing of osteopathy has increased the BSO
has evolved to meet the needs of patients and students
in this expanding field of healthcare.
| “As osteopathy wins increasing
recognition from the healthcare professions and
an ever wider public, the British School of Osteopathy,
a world leader in its field, continues to set the
highest standards of patient care and education.
As Patron of the British School of Osteopathy I
congratulate the School on its significant achievements
and wish it continued success.” |
