Quality assurance


​​Welcome to the BCCNM QA program

As part of our mandate to protect the public through the regulation of nurses and midwives, BCCNM is required to maintain a quality assurance program. The purpose of the QA program is to ensure the public continually receives safe, competent, and ethical care, by supporting nurses to engage in ongoing reflection and development.

Nurses and midwives are autonomous professionals with broad scope and significant professional responsibility. This means they must be lifelong learners, who continually assess and improve their practice.

By participating in BCCNM's quality assurance program, nurses demonstrate that they take professional development and continued competence in practice seriously. Meeting QA requirements is an important way to maintain the public's trust.

Help & support

The BCCNM QA team is available to assist with all aspects of quality assurance. The team can support self-assessment, help registrants set professional development goals, and review feedback from colleagues. They are a resource for everyone participating in BCCNM's QA program. The QA team is available via email or phone.​​

We acknowledge the rights and title of the First Nations on whose collective unceded territories encompass the land base colonially known as British Columbia. We give specific thanks to the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking peoples the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations and the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh-ulh Sníchim speaking Peoples the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), on whose unceded territories BCCNM’s office is located. We also give thanks for the medicines of these territories and recognize that laws, governance, and health systems tied to these lands and waters have existed here for over 9000 years.

We also acknowledge the unique and distinct rights, including rights to health and wellness, of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples from elsewhere in Canada who now live in British Columbia. As leaders in the settler health system, we acknowledge our responsibilities to these rights under international, national, and provincial law.​
