Give CPSA the gift of your feedback, just in time for the holidays

Their consultation was posted on the website with care, in hopes that much feedback soon would be there.

A new CPSA Standards of Practice consultation is upon us. The passing of last year’s Bill 21 (An Act to Protect Patients) included changes to the requirements for reporting sexual abuse and misconduct. This means CPSA needed to take a look at their standards of practice on reporting overall, to ensure they remain consistent with the current legislation.

As a profession-led regulator, CPSA strongly believes the standards expected from Alberta’s physicians should reflect the realities of front-line practice. This is why your feedback plays such an important role in the process.

Have your say by January 16

There are currently three standards of practice on reporting and CPSA recommends condensing them into two. A pre-consultation on these standards was done in the spring and that feedback has been captured in the proposed drafts. Visit CPSA’s website to review their existing standards, the suggested amendments, and to provide your feedback.
