Discipline hearings and outcomes

A discipline hearing is an adjudicative process whereby the Discipline Committee, an independent statutory decision-making body made up of registrants and public members, hear witness testimony and review documentary evidence and determine whether allegations listed in citations are proven. The Discipline Committee is authorized by the Health Professions Act to make factual findings about a registrant’s conduct, competence, or health, and then impose an appropriate outcome with an order.

Outcomes from a disciplinary hearing can range from no further action being taken to suspension or cancellation of registration. Suspension and cancellation of registration is reserved for significant competence and conduct issues.

Discipline Committee decisions can be appealed the British Columbia Supreme Court.

All citations listing allegations against a registrant are published on BCCNM’s website. The allegations are not proven until a full discipline hearing has taken place and a written decision rendered by the Discipline Committee.​​
