	Jane Copping RDN Qualifying at the Royal London Hospital within the dental field, Jane has always enjoyed encouraging others to have a greater understanding of their health both in prevention and cure. Moving into management many years ago Jane joined Wickford Chiropractic Clinic in 2006. Walking and gardening are a couple of her passions which depend on good mobility of limbs, so she is well aware of those aches and pains! reception@wickfordchiro.co.uk
	Sue Lighten Sue joined the practice as a part-time receptionist in July 2006, after having been a stay-at-home mum for 5 years. Her previous career had been predominately secretarial and accounts, but she welcomed the change of working environment to a much calmer and more social surrounding. Having first been a patient before becoming an employee, Sue is very familiar with the workings of all the chiropractors in the clinic! Sue has a keen interest in crafts, particularly making hand-made cards, which is her main hobby. reception@wickforchiro.co.uk

Wickford Chiropractic Clinic wins national quality award

Wickford Chiropractic Clinic was one of the first to achieve the ‘Patient Partnership Quality Mark’ (PPQM), awarded by The College of Chiropractors. The PPQM award was devised by the College of Chiropractors’ patient partnership group and recognises the clinic’s excellence in meeting the expectations patients have about their chiropractic care.

Dr Willard said:
“Chiropractors provide safe and effective treatment and we are proud to say that the award recognises this practice’s commitment to meeting and exceeding patients’ expectations of their environment and level of care. We constantly strive to improve our level of service and always welcome feedback from patients.”

Only two chiropractors in the whole of Essex were awarded the new quality ‘kite marks’ for high quality patient standards and good business practices.

Wickford Chiropractic is  recognised by all heath insurance companies
