It's been a while since we've released an episode, but there has been a good reason for that. Dave and Stephen have been travelling the world attending many meetings and conferences. From this, they have gained a great insight into how the profession is tracking in various parts of the globe, and what is on the horizon. There is an undeniable vibe that the chiropractic profession is changing; for the better, we would argue. The focus on evidence-based, person-centred and integrated care is growing and gaining broad support from the WFC to the various professional bodies and educational institutions. Listen to their perspective on this exciting evolution.

We hope you enjoy this special episode of the icarechirocast podcast, which also, of course, contains Dave Newell's Context Corner and Stephen Perle's CMT paper reviews.
