Proud to have been taught by this absolute pioneer of chiropractic education. A very well deserved honour🎖
Principal Honoured! Our Principal, Professor Christina Cunliffe, has been awarded an OBE in the Kings Birthday Honours list announced today in the London Gazette.
This award is in recognition of her outstanding services to healthcare education, with a 25 year focus on developing chiropractic education in the UK and abroad. She has led the McTimoney College of Chiropractic since 1998, transforming it from a single site institution into a global entity with campuses in Oxfordshire, Manchester, Madrid, Hong Kong and soon to be Northern Ireland. Under her leadership, the McTimoney College has become a beacon for quality education through innovative programmes that train chiropractors for both people and animals, emphasising access to education for working adults.
As well as her Fellowships of both the Royal College of Chiropractors and the Royal Society of Biology, she holds a PhD from the University of Manchester together with being awarded a personal Chair in Chiropractic by the University of Wales in 2010. She was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Healthcare Leadership by BPP University in 2021. She served on the General Chiropractic Council, its Education Committee and Investigating Committee, and as Treasurer of the Royal College of Chiropractors, and has been involved in the development of the profession for many years.
Professor Cunliffe's OBE is a testament to her unwavering dedication to advancing healthcare education and has significant impact on the chiropractic profession.
