General Chiropractic Council
The title of ‘chiropractor’ is protected by law and it is a criminal offense for anyone to describe themselves as a chiropractor without being registered with the GCC. Chiropractic regulation in the UK Chiropractic is regulated by The General Chiropractic Council (GCC), an independent statutory body established by The Chiropractors Act (1994).
The GCC sets the standards for undergraduate education, and the standards of chiropractic practice and professional conduct for individuals working as chiropractors. It investigates complaints against chiropractors, taking action against them where necessary. The GCC has the power to remove a chiropractor from the Chiropractic Register if they are found to be unfit to practice.
