Friend and client of the firm, Dr Neil Osborne, had invited us up once again to lecture to the final year students at the AECC. We are always more than happy to accept this as, for us, it is a very rewarding trip that gives us the opportunity to compliment the student's technical knowledge with a business 'heads-up' for the months ahead.
 
Having travelled up the day before and staying overnight at Chateau Osborne, Mike Hutchinson and myself were raised early with a king's breakfast and sent packing towards Parkwood Road. Despite the promise of a 9.30am Tax and Business lecture there were around 50 - 60 students in attendance all of whom were keen to understand the perils of the UK tax system. With the hour and a half available we did our best with the subject matter and gave them but a small insight into Taxation. Whilst students were obviously focused their exams, it also seemed very obvious to us that, given the economic climate, they were very motivated to find placements upon qualification.
 
I was also fortunate enough to be shown around the new clinic afterwards. It was much larger than I was expecting and already seemed busy and vibrant. From what I understand, this should now increase graduates to 100+ a year at the college. Personally, I look forward to further increased vibrancy and awareness this will bring to chiropractic in the UK.
