- Abstract
- The British School of Osteopathy relocated in July 1997 from Suffolk Street, near Trafalgar Square, to North Southwark. This study aims to evaluate the consequences of this move after one year at the new site. It investigates the characteristics of the patients attending the School's general clinic during a six month period in 1998. Information on patient numbers, age, gender, occupation and area of residence were compiled from the School's computer database and from patient case histories. Data was compared and contrasted with the equivalent period two years previously. The study found that patient numbers had fallen by just under twenty percent. Patients are now twice as likely to be resident in southeast London. A slightly smaller proportion of patients belonging to classes I and II and slightly more belonging to IV and V of the Registrar General classification of occupational class were seen in the new location. However in both locations the patients that were most likely to attend the clinic were female, between 21 and 40 years of age and belong to classes II or III of the Registrar General's classification of occupation class.
