Council is very pleased to announce that they have approved a new Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics for the profession. These documents both come into effect on January 1, 2022.
These pillars of regulation are being rolled out together and they speak to the same topics and were created under the same legislative amendments. Please become familiar with these to integrate into your practice.
The Code of Ethics may be found here: Code of Ethics
The Standards of Practice may be found here: Standards of Practice
With the implementation of the new Standards of Practice, the existing IPC and Recordkeeping Standards will become College Guidelines until new Guidelines are in place.
Please know that Council also approved amendments to the Bylaws. This is the first in a series of amendments responding to changes necessitated by recent legislative amendments. These are in effect now and may be found, on our website, here: Bylaws
Council has approved a process for denturists and members of the public to apply to observe Council meetings. Information is available on our website here: Council
Please refer to the article Council Vacancy in this issue of bytes to learn of an exciting opportunity for a denturist to be a part of Council.
