The McTimoney College of Chiropractic is proud to announce that Professor Christina Cunliffe, Principal of the College, has been appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in recognition of her outstanding services to healthcare education.
Professor Cunliffe’s career spans over four decades, marked by pioneering efforts in healthcare education, with a 25 year focus on developing chiropractic education in the UK and abroad. Serving on the General Chiropractic Council, its Education Committee and Investigating Committee and as Treasurer of the Royal College of Chiropractors, she has been at the forefront of the development of the profession during this time.
Since 1998, she has led the McTimoney College of Chiropractic, 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 Chiropractic education through offering innovative programmes that train chiropractors for both people and animals, emphasising access to education for working adults.
A still practising Chiropractor, Professor Cunliffe is a Fellow of both the Royal College of Chiropractors and the Royal Society of Biology and 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.
Her commitment to integrating Chiropractic into the broader healthcare continuum is evident through her role as the founding Dean of the School of Health for a large London based University, and her active involvement with the Integrated Medicine Alliance.
Professor Cunliffe’s OBE is a testament to her unwavering dedication to advancing healthcare education and her significant impact on the Chiropractic profession.
