On the direction of the Investigation Committee, a Summary Protection Order was made by the Registrar on June 11, 2026, regarding Natasha Flavel, RN. Terms included suspension of practising license until otherwise ordered, and disclosure of certain protected information to the complainant, employer, and the public to protect the public from harm. The Summary Protection Order can be found here.
On April 23, 2026, BCCNM received a complaint from the Medical Director for Nisga'a Valley Health Authority. Concerns raised include potential drug diversion, withdrawal of narcotics or controlled substances without authorization, and improper documentation from February 20, 2025, to April 13, 2026. Due to this complaint, BCCNM is concerned that undertakings and consent agreement terms dated April 1, August 7, and November 25, 2025, were breached.
Reasons for the order include there being a prima facie case of potential drug diversion, including dishonesty and lack of professional responsibility or accountability; significant risk of harm to the public that similar conduct will continue; no other minimally impairing term can be made to address the risk; and proportionality of the order to the risk.
A Summary Protection Order is an interim risk mitigation measure made to protect the public during an investigation. Measures taken by way of a Summary Protection Order relate to concerns raised with BCCNM that have not been fully investigated and have not been proven.
