Practice Support

As part of the CHCPBC’s Quality Practice Program, the College’s Professional Practice Advisors provide an important service for registrants, members of the public, other health professionals, and stakeholder organizations. Professional practice advisors are available to answer your questions – by phone at 1-877-742-6715 (press #3 for practice support), by email at practicesupport@chcpbc.org, or via the Contact Form (on the form, under “Subject of Inquiry,” select “Practice Support”).

Professional Practice Advisors provide professional practice information that supports adherence to regulatory requirements, including guidance on how standards of practice, clinical policies, clinical practice guidelines and protocols, and related documents can be implemented in practice.

From a public protection perspective, the benefits of the service include:

Reducing preventable practice errors and patient/client risk;
Providing clarity on standards of practice and other decision support tools;
Ensuring registrants comply with mandatory professional and clinical standards of practice;
Supporting registrants in meeting their annual quality assurance requirements;
Ensuring CHCPBC remains current in awareness of practice trends that may necessitate change in College standards of practice, policies, and other documents.

Note: Professional Practice Advisors generally work on for the College on a part-time basis while maintaining their own practice. Please allow five business days for a response.
