The College of Chiropractors, an academic body that develops, encourages, and maintains the highest standards of professional practice, has been granted a Royal Charter. The College is the first complementary body to be so recognised. The Royal Charter is a clear indication of the leadership value and innovative approach the College brings to the chiropractic profession.

The Royal College of Chiropractors has a similar role to the Royal Medical Colleges promoting standards of practice quality. It runs post-graduate training for new grads and CPD for established practitioners.
