 It takes at least four years of full-time study to become a chiropractor at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC) which offers a course leading to an MSc degree, or the University of Glamorgan, which offers a BSc (Hons) degree. The courses are followed by a postgraduate year spent on the British Chiropractic Association’s Vocational Training Scheme (VTS), which students spend in a chiropractic clinic with the support of a qualified Trainer. Upon successful completion of the VTS the student is awarded the Diploma in Chiropractic (DC). Only chiropractors trained at an accredited college can become members of the British Chiropractic Association (BCA), the largest association for the profession in the UK, established since 1925, and now representing over 800 UK chiropractors. The Chiropractors Act received Royal Assent in July 1994. Resulting from it, the General Chiropractic Council was announced in January 1997. It will be responsible for setting standards of both education and conduct within the profession, and will require all chiropractors to be registered to practise legally in the UK. Anglo-European College of ChiropracticChiropractic’s emphasis on research and scholarship is its investment for the future. The AECC promotes a thorough and extensive course ensuring that students are competent in basic and clinical sciences and in diagnostic procedures that they will need to apply in the prevention and treatment of pain, illness and disease. Successful students must develop their clinical skills to a high
degree before qualifying. A very highly qualified team of senior
teaching staff and a dedicated research ethos contribute to the
success of the education offered at the Anglo-European College of
Chiropractic. |

University of Glamorgan (Welsh Institute of Chiropractic)The chiropractic programme requires students to receive extensive clinical training. As a consequence it was decided that these demands should be met through investment into the establishment of a fully functioning out-patient clinic. This clinic provides a key service to the community as the region north of Cardiff is without chiropractic clinics. Excavation of the site began in November 1999 with the building completed and open for patients in September 2000. The Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, as it has 15 treatment rooms, a rehabilitation suite and a radiology suite. The building also contains facilities specifically designed to enable the teaching of students. These facilities include an 88-seat lecture theatre with modern IT facilities and a viewing window allowing students to see into a skills lab where demonstrations and evaluations take place. There are also practical chiropractic technique rooms to aid in the instruction of students. |
