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 modularised course was developed in order to fully integrate the Department into the normal university structure. The university, Chartered Society of Physiotherapy
and the Council of Professions Supplementary to Medicine (now known as the Health Professions Council
) validated this course in June 1995. The school worked towards consolidation of the undergraduate course, development of research activity and expansion of the Postgraduate portfolio. In September 2004 the school changed its name to the School of Health and Rehabilitation to reflect the fact that its current and future activities encompassed more than Physiotherapy education.
