Our work is guided by provincial legislation called the Health Professions and Occupations Act. It is your right to submit a written complaint to BCCNM if you believe the concerns you have about a nurse's or midwife's conduct or competence warrants a formal investigation by the regulatory body.
About complaints and discipline
BCCNM is required by law to regulate the nursing and midwifery professions in the public interest. As part of this responsibility, BCCNM ensures:
- The public is protected from incompetent, unethical, or impaired nursing or midwifery practice.
- Nurses and midwives do not practice unless they can do so safely.
