GCC remediation courses for Chiropractors facing complaints, fitness to practice investigations and hearings

Yes. Completing accredited CPD relevant to the concerns raised is one of the most effective steps you can take. The GCC’s Investigating Committee and its Professional Conduct Committee look for evidence of genuine insight, remediation and proactive professional development. A certificate from The CPD Certification Service shows structured, documented learning, and gives your written reflection something concrete to build on. How much weight it carries depends on the circumstances of your case, and no course can guarantee an outcome.

The GCC does not approve, accredit or endorse courses from any provider, including us, and does not keep an approved list. What our courses give you is independent certification by The CPD Certification Service and a CPD certificate recording what you studied and when. You can include that in a remediation portfolio, a written response, or your CPD summary — and it is the reflection you attach to it that carries the weight.

Immediately. Access is granted as soon as your payment is confirmed — no waiting period and no scheduling required. If you are facing an imminent GCC deadline or hearing, you can begin your course and obtain a certificate the same day.

Start with the Core GCC Remediation Set. These eight courses cover insight, reflection, remediation and rebuilding trust, and are relevant to every case whatever the allegation.

Then use the concern selector to add courses that address your specific issue: ethics and ethical conduct; professionalism, conduct and attitude; probity, honesty and financial integrity; professional boundaries and relationships; or clinical practice, competence and patient safety. If you do not yet know how the GCC has categorised your case, choose Fitness to Practice, or contact us for personalised guidance.

Most courses award 2 CPD hours/points. The three short modules — Insight, Reflection and Remediation — award 1.5 CPD hours/points each. The Medical Ethics Course and the Professional Ethics Course award 2.5 CPD hours/points each. The Core GCC Remediation Set totals 14.5 CPD hours/points across its eight courses.

Yes. All courses award verifiable CPD hours/points certified by The CPD Certification Service (CPD UK). There is no revalidation at the GCC. Instead the CPD year runs annually and you must produce a personal learning plan, complete and record at least 30 hours of CPD, of which 15 hours or more must be learning with others, and submit a CPD summary. There is also a focused reflection topic set each year. A certified course and your written reflection on it fit the plan-and-record model directly.

Contact your indemnity provider or a specialist healthcare regulatory solicitor immediately. Alongside legal advice, begin demonstrating proactive remediation by enrolling in courses relevant to the concerns raised. Early action signals insight and genuine willingness to improve — both factors the GCC weighs heavily in investigation and Committee hearings.

Yes. Clinic owners, principals and practice managers can purchase courses on behalf of registrants. Please see our bulk buy offer or contact us for team and group enrolment options, especially if several Chiropractors need to complete the same course as part of a team-wide remediation programme.

Yes. Many Chiropractors take these courses as part of their proactive CPD, annual planning or appraisal evidence, to deepen their understanding of GCC standards and the Code of Professional Practice, or to strengthen areas of practice they feel less confident about. Completing ethics and professionalism CPD is good practice for all registrants, regardless of regulatory proceedings.
