Regulatory Body and Professional Organisations
The
General Chiropractic Council (GCC) is a UK-wide statutory
body with regulatory powers, established by the Chiropractors Act
1994. It’s purpose is to protect the public by establishing and
operating a scheme of statutory regulation for chiropractors, to set
the standards of the chiropractic profession, to ensure the
development of the profession and to promote chiropractic as
contributory to the health of the nation. The GCC Register opened on
15 June 1999. From the 14 June 2001 the title of 'chiropractor' has
been protected by law and it is a criminal offence for anyone to
describe themselves as a chiropractor (whether expressly or by
implication) if not registered with the GCC.
