The General Chiropractic Council (Registration of Chiropractors with Foreign Qualifications) Rules Order of Council 2002

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order, which is made under the Chiropractors Act 1994, approves Rules made by the General Chiropractic Council in respect of registration on the basis of qualifications awarded outside the United Kingdom. Part II of the Rules relate to qualifications to which European Community law does not apply but which have been recognised under section 14(3) of the Act, or, which have not been so recognised, but the holder of which satisfies the Registrar, under section 3(6), that he has reached the required standard of proficiency. Part III of the Rules relates to registration of applicants relying on Community law, principally those who have a qualification awarded in another EEA State or Switzerland to whom Directive 89/48/EEC applies. As indicated in these Rules, The General Chiropractic Council (Registration) Rules 1999 (S.I. 1999/1856) also apply to applications for registration on the basis of qualifications awarded outside the United Kingdom.
