The British School of Osteopathy (BSO) has been awarded a star status in the Best Companies 2010 accreditation project for the second year running.
The BSO, whose degrees are validated by the University of Bedfordshire, has also been placed 56th on the new Sunday Times 100 Best Places to Work in the Public and Charity Sectors list.
Best Companies – the name behind the Sunday Times’ Best Companies to Work For list – judges organisations on their excellence in every area throughout the workplace, and on their commitment to workforce engagement.
This year, 1165 organisations entered the Best Companies accreditation process. From this pool, 498 organisations achieved star status accreditation this year. One star is first class, two stars are outstanding and three stars are extraordinary. The BSO will now receive a listing in the Best Companies 2011 guide.
BSO Principal Charles Hunt said: “We are delighted to have maintained our one star status for a second year, and I am particularly pleased that the British School of Osteopathy is recognised as one of the top 100 public and charity organisations to work for.
“It would be impossible to provide healthcare or education without a committed, resourceful and knowledgeable staff team. This award recognises their success.”
The
BSO is the UK’s oldest and largest school of osteopathy. It is now a registered
charity and its mission is to educate osteopaths, treat patients and pursue
osteopathic research. From its clinical centre in Southwark, London the BSO offers over 40,000 patient
appointments each year, including specialist in-house clinics for children,
expectant mothers, people with sports injuries and those living with HIV/AIDS.
It also runs a growing portfolio of outreach community clinics, which offer free osteopathy to groups who might not otherwise be able to afford or access it.
