The British School of Osteopathy is the oldest and largest teaching institution of osteopathy in the UK. To mark the one hundred years of its history, the book traces its chequered history and the characters involved from when it was simply providing vocational training and awarding its own diploma to it becoming a mature, higher education institution with Taught Degree Awarding Powers. It is a story of incredible achievement despite sometimes almost insurmountable obstacles to its progress.

Dr Martin Collins Ph D, MSc, BSc (Hons.), DO, a biologist by background, graduated in osteopathy in 1992. He has had twenty-five years of association with the British School of Osteopathy, from teaching physiology to being its principal for eight years. He became interested in the history of osteopathy in the UK and started collecting the scattered, remaining archival material relating to it, which became the foundation of the National Osteopathic Archive, of which he is a trustee. This material was the basis of his previous book, Osteopathy in Britain: The First 100 Years, and of this book.
