The
Research Centre at the British School of Osteopathy (BSO)
supports the BSO’s objectives and has several key
aims:
- To establish and maintain a recognisable reputation
for high quality research at both a national
and international level.
- To contribute to the body
of osteopathic knowledge.
- To promote evidence-informed
care.
- To support high quality education within the
BSO.
- To contribute to the wider academic research and
healthcare communities.
Members of faculty have contributed to publications
in peer-reviewed journals and successfully presented
work at osteopathic research conferences as well as
at general medical conferences nationally and internationally.
An increasing number of faculty now review for journals
and contribute to editorial boards. One member of the
research team has been appointed as Editor for UK and
Europe for the International Journal of Osteopathic
Research. The Research and Treatment Bulletin, a previously
in-house BSO publication, has been taken on by this
journal as a regular section. This maturation of The
Research and Treatment Bulletin is an important milestone
and represents increased opportunities for faculty
and others to seek publication. The BSO has also had
a member of faculty appointed to a National Institute
of Clinical Health and Excellence guideline development
group for back pain.
