New National Restrictions

Status

New National Restrictions (to reduce the spread of coronavirus)

The new national restrictions that apply in England from today until Wednesday 2 December 2020 are designed to reduce the spread of coronavirus and thus reduce pressure on the NHS, whilst allowing schools and universities to remain open and as many people as possible to continue to work. During this period, people are being asked to stay at home and avoid meeting people they do not live with. Some businesses are required to close, but Chiropractic clinics are permitted to remain open, along with other healthcare services (p32 #47).

To ensure patient and public safety is maintained, Chiropractors who continue to provide care during this time should do so with robust risk-assessed procedures in place that take into account the use of appropriate Personal Protective Equipment.

The General Chiropractic Council has outlined its expectations of registrants in its November newsletter and the RCC recommends that Chiropractors follow the detailed advice provided by their Professional Association.

Inquest into the death of Mr John Lawler

Inquest into the death of Mr John Lawler

The Royal College of Chiropractors (RCC) was deeply concerned to learn of the death of Mr John Lawler, and our thoughts are with his family.

Chiropractic practice is regulated by the General Chiropractic Council (GCC) and, following the recent coroner’s inquest, it is now appropriate for the details of this sad event to be considered by the GCC’s Investigating Committee. We are confident that the GCC will consider the case swiftly and appropriately.

It is vital that the profession learns from this, and we intend to work with the GCC and the wider profession to help ensure that this is the case.
