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 a series of national surveys under the auspices of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy due to concerns about safety of physiotherapy equipment. The first survey in 1986 examined Health Authorities; the second in 1987, private practioners. The second survey covered equipment owned by one-in-ten of the members of the Organisation of Chartered Physiotherapists in Private Practices, (OCPPP). In 1989 a follow-up survey was carried out to research the electrotherapy equipment bought and discarded by the physiotherapy practitioners, surveyed in the orginal survey, from 1987-1989.
