Unshakeable confidence in nursing and midwifery care

Honouring the legacy of Keegan Combes

BCCNM's commitment to helping dismantle and eradicate Indigenous-specific racism in health care influences everything we do. We have incorporated many of the specific recommendations from Remembering Keegan: a BC First Nations Case Study Reflection in our Redressing Harm plan. In undertaking this important work, we continue to be guided by Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and Indigenous Peoples. And we are also guided by Keegan's truth and Case Study Reflection.

Survey: Out-of-hospital births

We are revising the home birth standards and guidelines. Your feedback will ensure they reflect current midwifery practice related to out-of-hospital births. This anonymous survey closes Feb. 23, 2024.
