Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

Physiotherapy provision was available at King's College Hospital and later academic instruction was devolved to the Centre for Physiotherapy Research under the Department of Physiology. The Physiotherapy Department was formed in 1989, part of the Biomedical Sciences Division of the School of Life, Basic Medical and Health Sciences, to become one of the first academic departments of Physiotherapy in England. In 1998 a Division of Physiotherapy was formed, part of the School of Biomedical Sciences, itself the product of the merger of the Biomedical Sciences Division at King's and the Basic Medical Sciences Division at UMDS (United Medical and Dental Schools). The Centre for Physiotherapy Research carried out various research projects, including the The Role for Physiotherapy in the Care of Adults with Learning Difficulties (Mental Handicap) study. The study surveyed physiotherapists to gain a national picture of physiotherapy services for adults with learning difficulties.
