The ºÚÁÏÉç recently addressed a complaint where a female registrant had not followed the Physical Examinations and Procedures practice standard when treating a female patient. The ºÚÁÏÉç reminds all registrants that they must adhere to this and all other practice standards. Failing to do so may put the registrant at risk of receiving a complaint.
Registrants are encouraged to review the practice standard, which outlines the steps that must be taken to ensure that physical examinations and procedures are conducted in a professional and respectful manner. Registrants may also refer to the ºÚÁÏÉç’s .
Questions related to Physical Examinations and Procedures or any other practice standard may be directed to communications@cpsbc.ca.
