When licensees, applicants, and others contact CHCPBC, our goal is to respond as soon as we can. Using the Contact Form is the best way to ensure your message is quickly directed to the appropriate staff member for a response. Visit the Contact page on our website to use the Contact Form: https://chcpbc.org/contact/.

College email addresses are also listed on the Contact page and on various website pages. When emailing us, please send your message to only one CHCPBC email address. This contributes to a faster response, because it allows the relevant department to focus on providing an answer, or to refer it to another department if appropriate.

In the latest Message From the Registrar, CHCPBC Registrar and CEO Dianne Millette looks at provincial regulations and overlapping scope of practice.

Excerpts from Dianne’s message: “Regulations define who may practise a health profession, what titles may be used, and a scope of practice statement that broadly describes what a profession may do … BC has a shared scope of practice model for regulated health professions. This is intended to enable interprofessional practice, team-based care, and to balance public safety and consumer choice … Many professions overlap in practice—especially as interdisciplinary teams evolve and health professions share roles and responsibilities.”

Certified practices are restricted activities that healthcare professionals are permitted to carry out only once they’ve been certified. Restricted activities are granted in regulation by government. Performance of a restricted activity is only permitted by an authorized healthcare professional or a person appropriately delegated the activity.

A certification program outlines the minimum experience, education, practical training requirements, and other qualifications to achieve competence in practising a Certified restricted activity autonomously and safely.

CHCPBC has posted a Certified Practices page on our website. The new page includes information about certified practices and certification programs that applies to multiple professions we regulate, along with profession-specific information about certification programs and application processes. See the Certified Practices page: https://chcpbc.org/licensees/certified-practices/.
