Chiropractic is a regulated profession which means that all chiropractors in the UK must be registered with the GCC in order to practise and treat patients. GCC registration identifies you as a fully qualified professional who adheres to the standards set out in the Code of Practice for Chiropractors and gives your patients confidence that they will receive safe, effective care.
The register is publicly available and can be accessed here.
Why register with the GCC?
As well as being a legal requirement, registration with the GCC has many benefits. It means you can:
- demonstrate you are a registered healthcare professional.
- unlock numerous development and training opportunities.
- qualify for the health and care worker visa.
- access professional guidance.
Once you are successfully registered with the GCC you can display the 'I'm Registered' mark in your practice and on marketing materials, such as your website. Designed exclusively for GCC registrants, the mark helps patients recognise and trust that their healthcare professional is a fully registered, legal, competent chiropractor.
