Treatment A Month (TAM) Club

The TAM (Treatment a Month) Club was started in 1999 by Principal, Kenneth Vall, and since then has raised over £320,000 to support chiropractic education, research and chiropractic student facilities at AECC University College. Specifically, it has enabled us in obtaining specialised equipment necessary for learning, contributed towards the equipment of clinical rooms and skills labs, and to facilitate student scholarships and hardship funds.

These contributions from members of the profession, such as those received through the TAM Club and legacy leaving can go a long way to help us to further advance chiropractic education, clinical training and research.

If you were a member of TAM previously and would like to re-join, we would be delighted to welcome you back. Equally, should you be interested in joining for the first time, you would be very welcome as a new member. Setting up the transaction couldn’t be easier and just requires you to complete a bank automated clearing system (BACS) transfer or by setting up a standing order with the cost of one treatment per month.

Without the support of the profession and particularly dedicated clinicians like you, we would not be able to provide the future generation of chiropractors with the high standard of education that the profession demands and deserves.

Contributions from members of the profession, such as those received via the TAM Club and Leave a Legacy, go a long way to help us to further advance the chiropractic profession through education.  If you would like to find out more or register to join the TAM Club, please email the Communications team or call 01202 436 200.

Our thanks goes out to those that contribute and for your continued support.
