Five-year anniversary of In Plain Sight

This November marks five years since the release of the In Plain Sight report. The report investigated the extent of Indigenous-specific racism in B.C.’s health-care system and highlighted the devastating, ongoing impact and the tragic health outcomes for Indigenous families and communities in the province.

Seeking feedback on draft HPOA bylaws

In preparation for the Health Professions and Occupations Act (HPOA) coming into force on April 1, 2026, BCCNM is redrafting its bylaws to align with the new provisions in the HPOA. We are seeking feedback from members of the public, registrants (licensees), health partners, and Indigenous leaders on the draft bylaws.

Research findings: Provider responsibilities in client care and access

In October 2025, BCCNM conducted a registrant survey and hosted four virtual focus groups with nursing and midwifery registrants to support the Provider Responsibilities in Client Care and Access policy project. Thank you to everyone who took part. We are pleased to share what we learned.

Know Your Scope: Navigating the Controls on Practice

This interactive module helps nurses understand their scope of practice and how it fits within the regulatory framework. Discover the four key controls on practice that guide your decision-making, learn to distinguish between restricted and non-restricted activities, and find out when you can act independently without an order. Practical examples and real-world scenarios will help you confidently apply these principles in your nursing practice.
