Following the tremendous success of last year’s conference, ‘The Homecoming’, the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) is back for another in-person event on 18 November 2023 – Chiro Live 2023.
The event is a chance for chiropractors, students, and the wider healthcare community to come together to discuss some of the most important issues facing the sector and celebrate the BCA’s Mission: to be the home of chiropractors that put patients first.
The one-day conference will be jam-packed with BCA fun, including its new, interactive, TED-style afternoon sessions, The Big Think. Attendees will be able to enjoy a relaxed learning environment, kick back, and watch chiropractors speak in ways they’ve never seen before.
Further to this, the day will be full of industry respected guest speakers, including the infectious disease doctor, TV star, double Bafta winner and Sunday Times bestseller, Dr Chris van Tulleken, as well as:
- Dr Kirren Schnack – Clinical Psychologist and author of the book, 10 Times Calmer – the complete guide to overcoming anxiety problems
- Dr Kristan Bromley OLY – retired British Skeleton racer, sports engineer and Olympic sport Performance Director
- Richard Brown DC, LL.M, FRCC, FICC – Secretary-General of the World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC)
- Jake Cooke DC (MChiro, MScAPP, DACNB, FEAC, FRCC) – diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board and current Chairman of the European Academy of Chiropractic’s neurology special interest group
- Simon Billings DC – founder of the Academy of Chiropractic Nutrition
- Jack Chew DC – founder of Chews Health and host of the Physio Matters Podcast
And even more special guests!
Chiro Live 2023 is not just an opportunity for members and chiropractors to connect, learn and celebrate the profession – clinic staff are also invited! This year’s programme will include a specialised Operation Excellence Masterclass for chiropractic clinic staff, who serve as primary points of contact for patients and oversee front-of-house and back-of-house operations. The masterclass is intended to broaden clinic staff’s skill set and increase their understanding of how to effectively handle patient queries and information, as well as make the most of social media.
The masterclass will be hosted by Rhiannon Oakley, an experienced Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Consultant, delivering training, consultancy services, executive leadership coaching and reciprocal mentorship. She regularly delivers this training to local authorities, the NHS, national and international healthcare membership associations, and healthcare regulators, including the General Chiropractic Council (GCC). As an executive coach and mentor, Rhiannon works with individuals, teams, and organisations around the world to enhance their EDI activities with a focus on improving person-centred communication skills.
The conference really offers something for everyone and is a chance to further unite the industry as we collaborate, innovate and fulfil the BCA’s vision for chiropractic to be integral to UK healthcare.
