SCC Announces WCCS Chapter
This month, SCC students, Matt and Karen, travelled to Odense, Denmark, to attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the World Congress of Chiropractic Students (WCCS), an inspiring week of education, collaboration, and celebration of the global chiropractic student community.
Hosted at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), the WCCS AGM brought together students from across the world for a full programme of academic workshops, lectures, and cultural exchange. The event provided the opportunity for SCC to not only showcase its rapidly growing presence in chiropractic education but also to engage in meaningful discussions about the future of the profession.
Matt and Karen presented on their experience at SCC, the structure and vision of the College, and its strong focus on community and clinical excellence. Their involvement sparked great interest from other chapters and members of the WCCS Board, and we are proud to announce that SCC has been formally accepted as an official Chapter of the WCCS.

The AGM also featured a guest lecture by SCC’s Principal, Ross McDonald, DC, who was invited to speak on professional development and the importance of building a collaborative future for the profession.
In an exciting conclusion to the event, SCC was nominated and successfully voted in to host the next European Regional Event, which will take place in Edinburgh in 2026.
The event is set to welcome chiropractic students from across Europe for several days of academic sessions, workshops, and social networking, all set within the historic and vibrant surroundings of the Scottish capital.

Speaking about their WCCS Experience and new Chapter, Ross and Matt said:
“Our SCC students are now a new student chapter of the WCCS! Thanks to Matt and Karen for their time and energy on behalf of the college’s student body in attending the recent WCCS AGM in SDU, Odense, Denmark. I was privileged to be asked to speak at the event and met a group of engaged, knowledgeable, and articulate chiropractic leaders of the future from all jurisdictions. A huge thanks to the student body of SDU for making SCC feel so welcome and for bringing to reality this week-long engagement between student bodies. I’m looking forward to seeing what our students can do for the Chiropractic community in the future.’ Ross McDonald, DC, Principal
“The experience we have had getting involved with WCCS has been amazing. Learning so much about the profession and developing our own leadership skills is an amazing opportunity that I am grateful for. From meeting new people, connecting with students and Chiropractors across the world, making friends and sharing memories. I would like to thank SCC and the trust for all their support in setting this up. I am extremely proud to be the Head of the Chapter for SCC and look forward to building a sustainable long standing Chapter that continues to thrive for the WCCS. I can’t wait to see the Regional Event come to life over the next few months as we begin planning and preparing for what will be a memorable event.”
Matt Middleton, Head of Chapter
