From 5th October, 2009, for a year, I will be involved part-time in a pilot project at the Victoria Medical Centre. This Centre is an NHS GP Centre, based at 29 Upper Tachbrook Street, Victoria, London, SW115N (phone 0844 477 8740). I will be working with Professor David Peters, alongide fellow osteopath Steve Moore, and acupuncturist Anna Kiff. Click the link to go to the VMC website: www.victoriamedicalcentre.com

The aim of this project is evaluate a complementray and alternative - (CAM)- based muscoskeletal service assessing:

a) the acceptability of the service

b) professional (GPs and other professionals) experience of the service

c) patient experience of the service

d) patient outcomes

The patients seen will be NHS registered at the Centre and will be referred by the GPs at the Centre for free!
