The College is currently working to implement an Indigenous Cultural Safety, Humility, and Anti-racism Practice Standard in order to set clear expectations for registrants on the provision of providing culturally safe and anti-racist care for Indigenous patients and clients. The Board will be reviewing the new practice standard at its September Board meeting and, if approved, is expected to come into effect in September 2022
The new standard will be adapted with permission from the Indigenous Cultural Safety, Cultural Humility and Anti-racism Practice Standard, developed collaboratively by the BC College of Nurses and Midwives and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC.
