Personal Practice Review (PPR) is the foundation of BCCNM's QA Program. It is completed annually and supports ongoing reflection, learning, and practice improvement.
Unless a deferral or exemption is granted, PPR requirements must be completed by
March 31 of each registration year to renew practising registration.
Personal Practice Review includes core learning and reflection activities that apply to all licensees, with additional requirements for nurse practitioners, midwives, and certified licensees due to their expanded scope and autonomy.
Key requirements

Core activities:
Self‑assessment against BCCNM standards
Peer feedback (or practice reflection if peer feedback isn't possible)
A professional development (PD) plan with at least two goals, including one focused on jurisprudence, including anti‑discrimination, cultural safety, and anti‑racist practice.
Evaluation of learning and its impact on practice
Additional requirements for certain practitioners:
Certified licensees must include a certification‑specific learning goal.
Nurse practitioners must complete a critical chart review.
