NZ CHIROPRACTIC RESEARCHERS SCOOP AWARDS AT AUSTRALASIAN SCIENTIFIC SYMPOSIUM
Dr Heidi Haavik-Taylor, Research Director at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, won a major research prize this weekend in Melbourne. Second and third prizes at the same conference were won by Dr Kelly Holt, lecturer and research associate at the College. The latest successes came at the biannual chiropractic policy forum and scientific symposium held in Melbourne on 21 and 22 November 2009. Co-hosted by the New Zealand Chiropractors' Association, Chiropractic Association of Australia, Singapore Chiropractic Association and Australian Spinal Research Foundation, the symposium focused on wellness and covered topics in radiography, sports performance, subluxation, pediatrics and neuroscience. Of the seventeen papers presented, five came from the New Zealand College of Chiropractic. Dr Holt presented three papers: Falls risk profile of elderly chiropractic patients; Changes in asthma symptoms and bedwetting in a four year old child receiving chiropractic care; and Reflex effects of a spinal adjustment on blood pressure. Dr Holt won second and third prizes for his work on falls and blood pressure. Dr Heidi Haavik-Taylor's paper on Exploring the neuromodulatory effects of the verterbral subluxation and chiropractic care won the major prize for the symposium.
The prizes cap off a very successful 2009 for the College research team. Earlier in the year Dr Holt was awarded a University of Auckland doctoral scholarship and Dr Jenny Kruger, post doctoral research fellow at the College, received a Rutherford Foundation New Zealand postdoctoral fellowship from the Royal Society of New Zealand. CENGAGE LEARNING-NZAPEP LEADERSHIP AWARD 2009 
Dr Brian Kelly, President of the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, received the Cengage Learning- NZAPEP Leadership Award for 2009. Recognising exceptional leadership in private tertiary education, the award was given at the annual conference of the NZ Association of Private Education Providers.
Mrs Edwige Fava, NZAPEP President, said that under Dr Kelly's leadership the College now offered an integrated, well-resourced, relevant and evidence-based curriculum taught by some of the world’s leading chiropractic faculty. She noted that the College has moved into a purpose built, state of the art facility that creates an optimum learning environment for faculty, students, staff and the profession, and that graduates are in high demand as the chiropractic profession continues to grow in popularity in New Zealand and because the College is recognised as an institution whose graduates exceed the professional benchmarks. Dr Kelly shared his commitment to the potential for a new paradigm in healthcare "Healthcare as we know it is financially broken. It is an economically unsustainable model. The solution will be found in doing things in a different way. We are committed to graduating people who are serious about starting a conversation on what healthcare in the future might look like."
CHIROPRACTOR OF THE YEAR 2009Dr Brian Kelly was named Chiropractor of the Year at the Awards Dinner of the NZ Chiropractors’ Association. In presenting the Award, Association President Dr James Burt congratulated Dr Kelly on his vision and outstanding work for the profession. In accepting the Award, Dr Kelly thanked his faculty and staff for their ongoing commitment to excellence. “I may be the captain of the team, but you need a great team” said Dr Kelly. “It certainly is an honour to be a College President and to carry this torch”. The Awards Dinner capped off a celebratory weekend for the Association, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Commission of Inquiry into Chiropractic in New Zealand.
