The British School of Osteopathy has now opened its new clinic at 98-118 Southwark Bridge Road; just a few minutes walk from the existing teaching premises on Borough High Street.
The new clinic occupies the entire ground floor of a five story building designed by Galliard Homes and offers 35 treatment rooms all with sinks and air conditioning.
With around 800 patients benefitting from osteopathic treatment at the BSO clinic each week, the new facilities provide a cleaner and more professional environment for patients and an excellent learning environment for the students.
The new site also boasts greater security and easier access for all (entirely ground floor).
The total cost of the purchase and kit-out of the new clinic accumulated to £5.2 million. The school aims to raise the money for the move over the next 10 years and is seeking generous contributions from the public to fund this much-appreciated facility in one of London’s most disadvantaged communities.
The move came as part of the schools planned growth. The site of the old clinic will offer more space for teaching facilities to accommodate the growing numbers of trainee osteopath’s attending the BSO.
