BC Health Regulators (BCHR) provides leadership and expertise to improve and advance regulatory practice.

Through BCHR, member health regulatory colleges collaborate on activities that support a consistent regulatory approach, including developing shared regulatory resources that can be used by member colleges..

Framework for Quality Assurance programs

The Health Professions and Occupations Act requires regulatory colleges to: “establish and administer a quality assurance program for the following purposes:

  • to assist individual licensees to improve their own professional performance; and
  • to identify issues of professional performance found across multiple licensees or within a class of licensees and recommend measures that may be taken to remedy those issues.”

Interprofessional competency tools

Through BCHR, health regulatory colleges developed a learning module to help licensees gain competency in interprofessional practice. This online learning module is available for use and distribution by all health regulators. Visit Achieving Competence in Collaborative Practice: Mini-Module Series.
