Home → GCC Lawyers → GCC Registration

It is a criminal offence for anyone in the UK to use the title ‘chiropractor’ or to imply that they are a chiropractor unless they are registered with the GCC.

By law, the GCC check those who apply for GCC registration to make sure that they have a chiropractic qualification, are of good character and are physically and mentally fit.

There are three categories of applicant for registration with the GCC. There are:

• Those who hold a qualification recognised by the GCC;
• Foreign qualified applicants who hold an equivalent qualification and pass a test of competence;
• Those with EC Rights.

It is important to be honest and open when providing information concerning your fitness to practise to the GCC, as a failure to do so is likely to lead to an allegation of dishonest conduct.

If you have received a conviction, caution, fixed penalty notice or have a fitness to practise history with another regulator/employer, it is likely you will have to provide additional submissions to the Registrar as to why your application should be granted.
