Membership FAQs

  • When does my membership renew?

    BCA membership and insurance runs from 1 January to 31 December each year. Details of your renewal will be sent to you via email during November. 
    It’s important to make sure that the contact details we hold for you are up to date. If you need to make changes to your email (or mailing) address, please use our online form

  • Can I change how I pay?

    Yes – you can sign up to pay by monthly Direct Debit (or cancel an existing DD) or make changes to your bank details by contacting BCA Insurance Services on 01823 250788 or bcainsurance@lloydwhyte.com.

  • How can I change my contact/clinic details?

    You can add, remove or simply update a clinic location, plus change your contact email, phone number, or correspondence address by completing our online form.

  • What happens if my circumstances change?

    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.

  • What is PRT and do I have to do it?

    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 strongly 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.
