Scope Of Practice

Scope of practice frames the care we provide to patients and residents. Scope is legislated and then detailed by regulating bodies. Individual clinicians have a responsibility to practice within their scope safely. The PPO provides education and resources to support practice. The following is a list of practice regulatory bodies in BC.
