The ESO Management Team
At the ESO we’re proud of our strong, supportive community
The European School of Osteopathy has a world-class reputation for high quality osteopathic education, which has been achieved through the hard work, professionalism and dedication of all our staff and supporters. The School benefits from a strong and diverse leadership team that works with staff, faculty and students to assure the School’s place as a leading osteopathic educational institution.
We are particularly proud to have such an experienced team of lecturers and clinic tutors; many have been with the ESO for over 20 years and have undertaken further training in areas of specialist interest, thus ensuring a depth and breadth of knowledge not seen in most osteopathic schools.
