Abstract/Notes

Narrative: In October 2023 the former Anglo-European College of Chiropractic, at that time a degree-granting ‘University College’, announced it’s merger with another University College, formerly the ‘British School of Osteopathy’.

The matter was meant to be a low-key, under-the-radar event and the announcement was widely distributed several days before 9 October under embargo to that date and time.

However the embargo became a smoke-screen meant to control the narrative by being unilaterally broken earlier by the Osteopaths as they embedded the plan on their web site. McCoy Press ran with the story on Saturday Melbourne (Australia) time and this Journal followed suit on Sunday 8th October Melbourne time.

Events of this significance can not be kept from the global profession in the name of comfortable spin and we present, with references, what is known at this time.

This Journal also attempts to provide a context for what can only be described as a blatant sell-out of the principles of Chiropractic as it was founded in 1895. We implore the resultant entity to now completely remove any reference to Chiropractic in the programs it delivers as they move forward in this unholy alliance.

The former Anglo-European College is not and now can never be a ‘Chiropractic College’; it joins the Welsh Institute as a provider of small-c chiropractic education, yet will no doubt continue with the accreditation of the GCC which is lacking any intellectual capacity to discern the substance which warrants accreditation as a ‘Chiropractic College’. In turn, this renders the GCC as a fault-line which must be addressed by the profession in the name of survival.
