Membership FAQs

BCA membership and insurance renews on 1 January each year. Renewal documents are usually sent to each member during November, so it’s important to make sure your contact information is up to date. 

Your renewal communications will always include information about the current year’s achievements, and what we hope to achieve in the future. Rest assured that we continue to strive to support our members in delivering top-quality patient care by providing advice, support, and CPD opportunities for members at all stages of their professional life.  

We also continue to advocate for the profession with our public affairs and policy work to raise awareness within the government and the wider public of how chiropractic can help with the MSK crisis.

If you’re going on maternity leave, are retiring, or working outside of the UK for a while let us know as soon as possible.

All of these circumstances will have an impact on your insurance needs, so by giving as much notice as possible, we can advise you on the best course of action, and, if you pay monthly, what this will mean for your Direct Debit collection.

The ‘PRT’ (Post-Registration Training) programme is the UK’s Graduate Education Programme for recently-qualified chiropractors, run by the Royal College of Chiropractors (RCC). It’s intended to ensure a smooth transition from undergraduate study to autonomous professional practice. Visit the RCC website for full details.

The BCA encourages members to complete the PRT programme if they can, as it provides a strong foundation for their future career.

BCA members (other than students) are Provisional Members until they complete the PRT programme (or equivalent) after graduation and then become Full Members. If PRT isn’t completed within five years of graduation, you can take an alternative route with the BCA which involves completing a BCA-led equivalence application that the BCA Board reviews. If accepted, your name will be added to the list for passing into Full membership at the next Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Members do not have to complete the PRT (or equivalent) to remain in membership. The only difference between Full and Provisional membership is the ability to vote and stand for BCA Board positions.
