Italian Chiropractic Sports Council
Background: The primary function of the FICS Executive Council (ExCo) is oversight of the organisation's strategic direction to grow the sports chiropractic community on the world stage. The FICS Regional representatives are members of the FICS Exco, and their primary responsibility is to be the connection between the FICS ExCo and the NCSC. These reports help your Regional Representative stay connected to your NCSC strengths, weaknesses/challenges, opportunities, and tactics that the NCSC is facing. We encourage you to reach out to your FICS Regional Representative to discuss any issues you are facing so that they can contact you and discuss this at a mutually convenient time.
Please stay connected with your FICS Regional Representative and invite them to a couple of your board meetings each year so we can build that strong connection, awareness and communication link. This online reporting template is a tool to raise reporting and does not replace the interaction between the Regions and the FICS Regional Representative. This process enables FICS and the NCSC to create a strong working relationship to provide continuous support and feedback to serve and grow the broader sports chiropractic community.
Instructions: The NCSC quarterly report has two sections:
Part I. Activities which the NCSC are working on or have been doing in the past quarter.
Part II. Areas with which the NCSC would like FICS assistance. This part will assist FICS in supporting your NCSC and sharing resources for the growth of sports chiropractic.
If there is no activity in the last quarter, a "NA" response is sufficient. However, before you list "NA", please consider any significant information/developments concerning your NCSC and sports chiropractic during this period. You may consider including any updates on projects you are working on or issues that your NCSC reported on in previous reports, which are still ongoing.
How the reports are used:
These reports are tabled and discussed by the ExCo at quarterly meetings with follow-up by the ExCo Regional Representative.

| Name person submitting report | Gino R. Campanelli |
| Your position in your NCSC | Representative |
| 1. ACTIVITY: Summary of activity within your NCSC over the last quarter. If there has not been much activity in the last quarter, you may consider including any projects you are working on, issues your NCSC is facing, discussions or growth with which you may like support. | No change with respect to last quarterly report submitted on 03 September, 2021. The only project which is still in early phases is contact with the Association of Italian Chiropractors (AIC) General Education Program (GEP) representative. This program creates mentorship opportunities for new grads beginning practice in Italy. We're still outlining a protocol to combine GEP requirements with practical hours in sports settings that new grads can also apply to ICSC program requirements. |
| CHALLENGES: List any challenges which your NCSC are facing, or your Executives are working to solve. (List N/A if none at this stage) | As noted in the most recent quarterly report, chiropractic is still not fully recognized and regulated as a health profession in Italy, which makes it difficult to officially approach federations/organizations. Our national chiropractic organization is still in the final phases of establishing a clear scope of practice as outlined in the December 2018 healthcare reform legislation. Time and man-hours…there are slightly fewer than 400 chiropractors in a country of about 63 million Italians. This creates significant logistical difficulties in our efforts to provide more consistent chiropractic services at sporting events and provide a voice in public health initiatives on a national scale. |
Part II: Areas where FICS and your NCSC could collaborate | |
| COLLABORATION: College/Educational Institution with which you have / or are developing relationships with. (If applicable) | N/A |
| EVENTS/GAMES: Any contacts you have with International Sporting Federations. Do you need any help from FICS to organise contact with holders of regional/international games? (If applicable) | One of our members officially collaborates with the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI). He is currently laying the groundwork for a multidisciplinary course through their "school of sport", taught by a DC, in Rome for 2022. |
| COLLABORATION: List any major events/conferences which you have coming up and a event link so FICS can co-promote. (If applicable) | N/A |
| OPPORTUNITIES: List any opportunities which you may like FICS to help support or promote. (If applicable) | We just sent a request for organizing a FICS ICSC Hands-On Module in Italy for 2022. |
| FOLLOW-UP: Please select any followup you are interested in. FICS will get the respective Commission Chair or your Regional Rep to contact you. (If applicable) | Education: Interesting in hosting an ICSC Seminar |
