NEWS FLASH! This year's Final Clinical Competence Assessment results broke all records for the 2002 cohort of students plus the group of Accelerated Learning Students joining them in their 3rd Year. There were 18 in total with a 100% success in passing. Six of them succeeded in receiving First Class Honours and 7 with Credit Pass. Congratulations to our students & our teaching staff. This consolidates the London School of Osteopathy’s position as the leading school of osteopathic education for part-time students in the UK.Graduate Jamie Dearing, won 1st prize
for his
presentation: `An examination
of pressure-pain thresholds at myofascial trigger points, following
muscle energy technique or ischaemic compression treatment’ at
the 4th Chiropractic
Osteopathy and Physiotherapy Annual Conference:
“Moving forward through research and practice” held
at the British School of Osteopathy. (This was an Undergraduate
Research Conference across three professions: osteopathy, chiropractic
& physiotherapy). We are also pleased to announce that two of our staff, Fiona Hamilton and
Derrick Edwards, won the Poster Award at the recent event, Advancing
Osteopathy 2008. The prize was presented by the Journal
of Osteopathic Medicine and Elsevier,
the publisher of the journal. A collaborative project between Phyllis Woodfine and Fiona Hamilton was presented by Phyllis at the Advancing Osteopathy 2008 conference. A retrospective cohort analysis of disparate students using Perry's model of intellectual development was undertaken. The LSO is planning to use the project to form the basis of ongoing research. One
of our present 5th Year students obtained funding and
underwent a rigorous ethical protocol in having his research
dissertation passed by a Primary Care Trust. His study is
investigating the efficacy of osteopathy in the treatment of HIV. This
was a remarkable achievement for an undergraduate and the LSO is proud
of his accomplishment.
