Engagement & insights


​updated July 23, 2026​​

Engaging with our registrants, the public, and other key partners is essential for our decision-making processes.  Our engagement activities are intended to foster me​​aningful dialogue, collaboration, and partnership with registrants, the public, and interest groups to contribute to inclusive, responsive, and relevant governance.​

BCCNM uses a range of engagement methods and tools—such as surveys, focus groups, online forums, social media, and community events—to reach different audiences and facilitate participation.  As part of our engagement program, we respect the privacy and confidentiality of individuals' personal information collected during engagement activities by​​ adhering to relevant laws, regulations, and best practices for data protection and security.​​​​

Current engagement activitIes

​​​Survey: Nurses​' use of BCCNM standards of practice

BCCNM would like to learn more about your experiences with BCCNM nursing standards (i.e., ethics and practice standards, collectively known as “standards of practice”). Your feedback will enhance BCCNM’s understanding of contexts in which nurses work in, changes and trends in nursing practice, how nurses use and apply BCCNM standards of practice, and will support future BCCNM initiatives. This anonymous survey closes on July 28, 2026.

Survey: Experiences with the Professional Standards and RPN Code of Ethics

BCCNM would like to learn more about your experiences with the LPN, RN, RPN, and NP Professional Standards and the RPN Code of Ethics. Your feedback will support the revision of these standards of practice. This anonymous survey closes on July 28, 2026.

​​​Sur​vey: Currency requirements for midwives​

​​As BCCNM works to finalize currency requirements for midwives, your input is essential in shaping the path forward. This survey asks about proposed options for the 300 clinical practice hours within the three-year, 900-hour currency requirement. Responses will help us understand how each option will protect the public and support midwives to provide safe, competent, and ethical care. All responses are anonymous and confidential.

​​​​​​Territorial acknowledgement

We acknowledge the rights and title of the First Nations on whose collective unceded territories encompass the land base colonially known as British Columbia. We give specific thanks to the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking peoples the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations and the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh-ulh Sníchim speaking Peoples the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), on whose unceded territories BCCNM’s office is located. We also give thanks for the medicines of these territories and recognize that laws, governance, and health systems tied to these lands and waters have existed here for over 9000 years.

We also acknowledge the unique and distinct rights, including rights to health and wellness, of First Nations, Inuit​ and Métis peoples from elsewhere in Canada who now live in British Columbia. As leaders in the settler health system, we acknowledge our responsibilities to these rights under international, national, and provincial law.​
