We’re proud to share that Morningside Chiropractic has once again been awarded the Patient Partnership Quality Mark (PPQM) by the Royal College of Chiropractors, with our accreditation now confirmed through to 2028.
For patients looking for a trusted chiropractor in Edinburgh, the PPQM is an important sign that a clinic is committed to delivering consistently high standards of patient-centred care.
What Is the Patient Partnership Quality Mark (PPQM)?
First launched in September 2006 as part of the Royal College’s Safety, Quality, Excellence initiative, the PPQM is a nationally recognised award that highlights clinics which excel in meeting patient expectations.
To achieve the PPQM, practices must demonstrate excellence across a wide range of patient-focused areas. The assessment is informed by lay reviewers, meaning the standards reflect what genuinely matters most to patients — from communication and accessibility to the overall patient experience.
For anyone searching for a chiropractic clinic in Edinburgh, the PPQM offers reassurance that the practice has been independently assessed against rigorous quality benchmarks.
Why This Matters for Our Patients
At Morningside Chiropractic, we believe great chiropractic care goes beyond simply treating symptoms. Whether someone visits us for back pain, neck pain, sciatica, or a sports-related issue, our focus is always on delivering clear, supportive, patient-first care.
The PPQM recognises clinics that consistently:
- Put patient needs at the centre of care
- Communicate clearly and professionally
- Maintain strong clinical and administrative standards
- Support patients throughout their treatment journey
For our patients across Morningside and the wider Edinburgh area, this award is reassurance of the standards we work hard to maintain every day.
One of Only 9 Clinics in Scotland
We’re honoured to be one of only 9 clinics in Scotland currently holding the PPQM award. While we never take recognition like this for granted, we are proud that our team’s continued focus on patient experience and high-quality chiropractic care in Edinburgh has been recognised again at a national level.
A Word from Our Founder
Alan Cavanagh, owner and founder of Morningside Chiropractic, said:
“At Morningside Chiropractic, our focus has always been on delivering patient-centred chiropractic care in Edinburgh. Retaining the PPQM is a lovely recognition of the care and attention our team puts into every patient journey.”
A Genuine Team Effort
Maintaining PPQM standards requires consistent commitment from the whole practice. We’re incredibly grateful to our chiropractors and front-of-house team, whose professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail help create the welcoming environment our patients value.
Most importantly, thank you to our patients for the trust you place in us. Whether you visit us for help with back pain in Edinburgh, ongoing spinal care, or injury recovery, we remain committed to providing the high standard of care you expect from Morningside Chiropractic.
