Hythe Chiropractic Centre

Welcome to the British Chiropractic Association (BCA), the leading association for chiropractors in the United Kingdom. With over half of the practising chiropractors in the UK as our members, we are proud to be the professional association of choice, providing unrivalled knowledge and experience. Our mission is to promote and protect the chiropractic profession, ensuring the highest standards of patient care.

Our Services

At the BCA, we offer a range of services designed to support our members, patients, and the public. These services include:

• Chiropractic Care: We provide information and resources on chiropractic care, a form of healthcare that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Our members are dedicated to providing evidence-informed, patient-centred care, helping people of all ages to achieve and maintain optimal health and wellbeing.
• Patient Charter: Our Patient Charter is a pledge from BCA chiropractors to their patients, outlining the high standards of care and ethical conduct that our members are committed to upholding. We believe that patients have the right to be informed, respected, and involved in their care, and our Patient Charter reflects these principles.
• Research: We undertake and support research into chiropractic care and musculoskeletal health, contributing to the body of evidence that informs and enhances our understanding of these areas. Our research aims to improve patient outcomes, advance the profession, and inform policy and practice.
• Regulation: We work closely with regulatory bodies, such as the General Chiropractic Council (GCC), to ensure that our members meet the highest standards of competence and conduct. We support our members in maintaining their professional registration and adhering to the GCC's code of conduct and standards of proficiency.
• Continuing Professional Development (CPD): We offer a range of CPD opportunities for our members, helping them to develop their knowledge, skills, and expertise. Our CPD events cover a wide range of topics, from clinical skills and patient safety to research and professional development.
• Advocacy: We advocate for the chiropractic profession and musculoskeletal health, promoting the benefits of chiropractic care and raising awareness of the impact of musculoskeletal disorders. We engage with policymakers, stakeholders, and the public to inform and influence policy, practice, and perception.
