Dr Daniel Moore, Course Leader for the programme at Teesside University. Teesside is the newest chiropractic programme in the UK, opening its doors to students in 2020. He is in conversation with Dr Matthew Bennett, Director - SPCE and a former President of the British Chiropractic Association.

Following on from our ongoing interviews with chiropractic leaders, which last month featured Dr. Bill Morgan and Dr. Richard Brown, I am delighted to share with you the next instalment in this series. As I previously said, these discussions focus on the education and training of chiropractors as well as tackling wider issues relating to the profession.

Daniel talks about the need to define chiropractic competence and to change the disconnect between undergraduate education and clinical practise. He is an advocate of getting students out into clinics, early in their course, so as to develop professionalism and clinic experience. He also talks about improving the recognition of academia as a career for chiropractors.

Finally, he emphasises what many are saying now, i.e., the need for professional integration and learning from other professions.
