At Cleve Chiropractic, we love to showcase the very best talent available to look after all our patients – and we have another top quality new arrival to help us see in 2023.
I’m delighted to announce that we have recruited superstar physiotherapist Jack Haines from the highly competitive world of elite rugby union. The very sad demise of the illustrious Premiership side Wasps has created an opportunity for Cleve Chiropractic. The unexpected and sudden folding of Wasps led to not just availability of world-class players, but also the staff who found themselves without a job.
The reputation of Cleve Chiropractic as one of the best sports injury clinics in the UK has clearly made waves across the country. Jack had heard about us and set up a chat with me to see if we had space for another Premiership standard physio – and you know we love a star practitioner! So we jumped at the chance for an interview and to show Jack around the clinic.
Jack loved our ethos of providing Premier League quality healthcare to all. Why should such high standards of care, experience and equipment be limited to only the best athletes and players? He even said he thought that we had more kit and facilities than most top clubs in the country, which was music to my ears. For 20 years, I’ve been striving to reach these high standards and provide the best possible service to our #Clevefamily.
Jack has worked at the highest levels of rugby union with Wasps and also for Australia on their recent tour of the northern hemisphere. Jack has loved working for Wasps and the Wallabies and can’t wait to bring all that knowledge and insight to Mangotsfield.
We know that he has ambitions to re-join another top-flight rugby club and we both hope that this might somewhere in the south west. He loves Bristol and would be delighted to stay working with us long into the future.
Now here’s some more good news for all our patients. The British Chiropractic Association (BCA) has launched a new Patient Charter to its members and the general public, continuing its mission to be ‘the home of chiropractors who put patients first’. As proud members of the BCA, Cleve Chiropractic and Physiotherapy is delighted to share this news with our patients and give you more information about the significance of this document, which you can see displayed in our clinic.
The Patient Charter is a pledge, from BCA chiropractors to their patients, to remind them of the quality care they’ll receive when receiving treatment from us. It’s laid out in such a way that any patient can use the charter to start a conversation – and any chiropractor can easily explain it to them.
Created by the BCA to provide people with reassurance, the Patient Charter clearly shows why BCA chiropractors, like ourselves, are different from any others who operate in the same field. It acts as a transparent agreement, ensuring that patient-centred, evidence-informed care is always provided by BCA chiropractors.
In a bid to end misperceptions and myths about chiropractic, the Patient Charter highlights that the profession is strongly regulated, helping to provide consistency, such as the standard of education and training required. Chiropractors are regulated by law and required to adhere to strict Codes of Practice, in the same way as dentists and doctors.
As you know, the President of the British Chiropractic Association is our very own Catherine Quinn, who commented, “The Patient Charter is a pledge that every one of our BCA chiropractors can be proud of. It reiterates the reputation of BCA chiropractors as being credible, evidence-informed, ethical experts working within the modern healthcare sector. Every BCA chiropractor recognises their role as a healthcare professional, helping empower the patient to make an informed decision about treatment that is based on individual needs. This patient-centred approach is at the core of everything we do at the BCA.”
As Vice-President of the BCA, I am incredibly proud to see the charter that we have been developing as part of our repositioning over the past few years come to life and be able to share it with you.
Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2023!
