On Feb. 2, 2026, a panel of the Inquiry Committee approved a consent agreement between BCCNM and Afsaneh Torabimoghaddam of Vancouver, B.C., to address practice issues related to accessing health records of a patient at her workplace without authorization in June 2025.
The conduct was unsatisfactory, with respect to the following professional and practice standards that BCCNM set:
- Privacy and Confidentiality,
- Ethical Practice, and
- Professional Responsibility and Accountability.
BCCNM standards set expectations to ensure nurses are practising competently, ethically, responsibly, and safely. Nurses are accountable for their nursing decisions, actions, and professional conduct. Nurses must meet these standards in providing care to patients.
The registrant has voluntarily agreed to a one-week suspension of her registration for breaching the above standards.
The Inquiry Committee is satisfied that the terms will address the issues and protect the public.
