The RCC is pleased to announce, on behalf of the Forum of Chiropractic Deans, the publication of Outcomes for Chiropractic Graduates 2026. This document defines the knowledge, skills and competencies expected of newly qualified chiropractors in the UK. It replaces and updates the 2022 edition of Outcomes for Chiropractic Graduates.
The purpose of this new edition is to ensure that the document reflects contemporaneous practice and remains consistent with changes that have occurred in the profession over the past 4 years, particularly with reference to the new GCC Education Standards and Code of Professional Practice.
The Forum of Chiropractic Deans is made up of senior representatives of all the UK chiropractic programmes and the Royal College of Chiropractors. They have produced this edition in consultation with the profession, and would like to thank the stakeholder organisations and individuals who took part in the recent consultation process.
Outcomes for Chiropractic Graduates 2026 enables patients, the public, health professionals, health & care organisations and commissioners to understand and recognise what chiropractors know and are able to do at the point of graduation.
