The B.C. government in 2022
introduced new legislation, the
Health Professions and Occupations Act (HPOA), which will replace the existing Health Professions Act. The HPOA will come into force April 1, 2026.
In preparation for the coming into force of the HPOA, BCCNM is redrafting its bylaws to align with the new provisions in the HPOA.
BCCNM sought feedback from members of the public, registrants (licensees), health partners, and Indigenous leaders on the draft bylaws, which were released for consultation in groups for a 45-day period. Please note the bylaw consultation period has now ended.
Feedback and questions related to the consultation process can be directed to governance@bccnm.ca.
