postgraduate levels. There is an active research focus within the school[1]
with many of the teaching staff being members of Research Institutes at the university. The school is a regional hub of the National Physiotherapy Research Network.

History

The school was originally known as The Oswestry and North Staffordshire School of Physiotherapy (ONSSP) located at the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital in Oswestry, Shropshire. It had its first intake of students in 1939 and awarded graduates a Diploma of Physiotherapy. The development and implementation of a physiotherapy honours degree programme at Keele University was a collaborative venture between the university and ONSSP. Co-operation between representative members of the ONSSP and collaborating departments of the university led to the development of an integrated course. At that time, the school remained an autonomous institution based at Oswestry, working in collaboration with the university.

In 1994 the ONSSP transferred on to the Keele University campus becoming the Department of Physiotherapy Studies. The department moved into permanent premises in the MacKay Building in January 1995. During this time a new integrated modular course was developed in order to fully integrate the department into the university structure. The university,
