Dear Member,

UCA News:
This last week at head office we have had the pleasure of welcoming our newest member to the team Dominique Reid. As many of you may already be aware, Melissa is taking the leap to leave the UCA to pursue new ventures and follow her passion of coaching. Dominique will be working closely alongside Melissa over the next coming months and transitioning into her new role as CEO for the UCA. We would all agree Melissa has been a significant leader not only at the UCA but within the chiropractic profession and is very much loved by us all. She has dedicated years to serving the profession, witnessed and supported so many of our journey's, touching the lives and hearts of ours along the way. We are extremely grateful for all that she has done and look forward to sharing more about this new journey with you all as it unfolds. We aim to have a big celebration for Melissa at CE this year so encourage you to join us in making this an extremely special farewell to the UCA for her!

Member News:
Many of our members have recently reached out to us regarding the latest government open consultation 'Making vaccination a condition of deployment in the health and wider social care sector.' The government are currently seeking feedback on whether or not to extend vaccination requirements to other health and care settings for COVID-19 and also for the flu. The consultation closes at 11:45pm on 22nd October 2021 and we encourage you to share your views whilst the opportunity is available. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to head office by emailing contact@unitedchiropractic.org. A link has been included below for your convenience.

This week we have also seen the introduction of the UK Health Security Agency replacing Public Health England. New recommendations for changes to COVID-19 infection prevention and control (IPC) advice have been released to help ease pressure on the NHS for hospitals, however no changes have yet been introduced for chiropractors. We will continue to keep all our members up to date with any relevant changes in practice.
