This week marks the one-year anniversary of the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC. This has been a whirlwind year for all of us at CHCPBC, but we did it. Thank you for your patience, feedback and contributions over the first year. As part of the celebration of CHCPBC’s anniversary, all registrants are invited to attend a virtual presentation next month to be led by Dr. Zubin Austin.
We anticipate that the provincial government will bring the Health Professions and Occupations Act (HPOA) into force some time in 2025. The new legislation means BC’s health regulatory colleges must prepare bylaws that reflect the requirements of the HPOA. CHCPBC will post our draft bylaws for public consultation in the coming weeks.
As the regulator for nine health professions, CHCPBC does not simply set requirements for practice: we also support our registrants in upholding them.
A key priority for the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC is to prepare for a change in the legislation that sets out how BC’s health professionals are regulated. The current Health Professions Act will be replaced by the new Health Professions and Occupations Act that is expected to be brought into force in 2025.
Earlier this month, we launched a new policy on gender diversity. Its purpose is to ensure all of us within CHCPBC contribute to a workplace that is safe and inclusive for everyone.
Quality practice ensures a better experience for patients and clients, and helps to improve health outcomes. It is also preventative, in that it reduces the likelihood of care that falls below expectations, resulting in complaints.
September 30 marks Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a federal statutory holiday created through legislation to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s call to action number 80.
In the short time since the amalgamation to create the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC (CHCPBC), we have been settling into our role as the regulator of nine health care professions.
