General Chiropractic Council

The GCC Code represents the benchmark of conduct and practice against which chiropractors are measured in order to deliver the highest standards of patient care. Here are the eight principles that all registered chiropractors must practice 🎬 🔗 bit.ly/3XmC3Ff.

In past audits, we’ve seen common issues with CPD focused reflections—brief answers, vague language, and lack of personal relevance often led to resubmission requests. This year, the focus is on candour. We want to help you get it right. That’s why we’ve: - Added guidance under each question in the CPD portal - Created a downloadable template to help you plan your answers 📝 Start strong: gcc-uk.org/i-am-a-chiropr… #CPD #Candour #Chiropractic #Reflection #GCC

Don't forget - There are 100 days to go until the CPD deadline. All CPD for this year needs to be completed by 31 August 2025, and submitted and recorded on the portal by 5pm on Friday 5 September 2025. Find guidance on completing your annual online CPD summary here: gcc-uk.org/i-am-a-chiropr… If you have any questions, feel free to email us at cpd@gcc-uk.org. #Chiropractic #ProfessionalDevelopment #CPD #100DaysToGo

We understand that being part of a Fitness to Practise (FtP) process can be worrying and stressful for registrants. That’s why we have launched an Emotional Support Service to provide free, independent, confidential help (including 24/7 counselling and short-term therapy if needed) to registrants under investigation.
