Proposed Changes to Health Professions Regulation

This engagement has concluded. Thank you to all who shared your input. See our What we Heard report for a summary of key themes that emerged from this engagement with you.


Help Inform our Response to Government

Doctors of BC sought member input to help inform our response to government on proposed changes to health professions regulation. The government's proposals were based on the recommendations of the Cayton Report, to which Doctors of BC had responded earlier that year, and aim to modernize the Provincial Health Professional Regulatory Framework.

The proposals fell under four key themes:

  • College Governance
  • College Amalgamation
  • College Oversight
  • Complaints and Discipline


We did not seek member input on all aspects of the government's paper; we focused on the proposed changes we considered would be most relevant to our members.

Doctors of BC provided our written submission to government in early 2020.
