SPEAKERS Darren Barnes-Heath BSc, DC, MRCC Darren graduated from AECC in 1995 and has a practice in Lincoln and has been studying functional neurology for the last 16 years. For the last five years he has taught functional neurology to Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Physiotherapists throughout Europe for Neuroseminars. His topic for the symposium will be “The Neurology of Breast Feeding” and will include: what parts of the brain are active during breast feeding, what the consequences are of these regions not active, how could this affect development. Lara Cawthra MChiro (Paeds), FRCC (Paeds) Lara trained in Australia to receive her Master of Chiropractic from Macquarie University, 1996. Following an Felicity Crone BSc Felicity graduated from WIOC in 2007, and worked in various clinics before setting up Banchory Chiropractic Clinic in Aberdeenshire in 2012. The clinic now has 3 chiropractors, 2 massage therapists and runs Yoga and Pilates classes. Felicity has a keen interest in paediatrics, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and has been a voluntary breastfeeding counsellor with the NCT for 3 years. She has combined these 2 areas of knowledge and co-presented workshops in how chiropractic care relates to breastfeeding. In April 2017 she decided to launch a chiropractic drop-in clinic for babies. This was a chiropractic first in the UK and, since its first day, has proven to be very popular. Elisabeth Davidson BSc (Chiro), DC, MSc (Paeds), FRCC (Paeds) Elisabeth owns a busy multidisciplinary clinic in Aberdeenshire. She graduated from the AECC in 1994 with a BSc (chiro) and a post graduate diploma in chiropractic (DC) in 1995. She gained an MSc in Advanced Chiropractic Paediatric Practice in 2007, also from the AECC, and is a Fellow and Director of Academic Affairs of the RCC’s Pregnancy and Paediatric Faculty. Originally from Denmark, Elisabeth has lived in Britain since 1990. She teaches postgraduate seminars in chiropractic care of children and pregnant women. In addition, she is currently conducting research into pelvic girdle pain, outcomes of infant care and has been instrumental in developing the new infant and child questionnaires used extensively by UK chiropractors. Heidi Knorr BSc, FRCC (Paeds) Heidi Knorr is a chiropractic graduate of both Macquarie University (2000) and AECC. She completed her paediatric chiropractic degree in 2013 at AECC and her dissertation concentrated on feeding difficulty in infants. Whilst Heidi’s passion draws on using her clinical skills in the chiropractic management of infants and children, her experience with ankyloglossia, on both a personal and professional level, has led to her lecturing internationally on this topic. She runs a busy multidisciplinary clinic in Scotland and loves nothing more than having ‘play days’ with her paediatric patients in clinic. Aurélie Marchand MChiro, MSc APP (Paeds), FRCC (Paeds) Aurélie is a chiropractor and lecturer at AECC University College. She obtained an MChiro in 2006, a PgCert in 2007, a MSc APP (Paediatrics) in 2010 and is currently undertaking a PgCert in Medical Education. She has published research in the paediatric chiropractic field and in fascia. She is a Fellow of the RCC’s Pregnancy and Paediatric Faculty and of the European Academy of Chiropractic. Amy Miller BSc, MSc Amy is a chiropractor based in Christchurch, and completed her MSc Chiropractic at the AECC. Her research for this MSc led to the development and testing of the UK Infant Questionnaire, the first validated parent-reported outcome measure for infants in chiropractic care. For the past three years, Amy has been involved with the inter-professional breastfeeding clinic, a collaborative clinic combining the care of AECC chiropractic interns and Bournemouth University midwifery students. Research undertaken in this clinic to date includes a case series, detailed Joyce Miller BSc, DC, PhD, FRCC (Paeds) Joyce is a recently retired paediatrics and evidence-based clinical lecturer at AECC in conjunction with Bournemouth University with over 25 years private practice experience.

Along with Bournemouth University’s midwifery team from the School of Health and Social Care, in 2013 she developed an AECC-BU feeding clinic overseen by the AECC clinic and housed in Cavendish House. This is an inter-disciplinary clinic where midwives and chiropractors (and students) manage difficult feeding cases together and learn together. She focuses on the musculoskeletal health of neonates and infants. Alexandra R Newton DC, MSc APP (Paeds MSK), FRCC (Paeds) Alexandra is a fellow and the current Secretary of the RCC’s Pregnancy and Paediatric Faculty. She has been in practice for 28 years and completed her Masters degree at the AECC in Advanced Professional Practice in Paediatric Musculoskeletal Health in 2014. It was while studying for her masters that she recognised the lack of quality evidence to support chiropractic paediatric care and has made it her mission help to change this by being an active part of the faculty.
