Consultations
When does the College consult the public?
The College engages in a range of public consultation activities prior to implementing or making changes to important aspects of registered nursing regulation, including, but not limited to:
- Bylaws,
- Practice Expectations,
- Policies,
- Regulations, and
- Practice Directions
The College seeks the input of registrants, the public, and other interest holders including government, Manitoba’s other regulated health professions, employers, nursing educators, and other affected parties as applicable to the changes or new measures under consideration. A diverse range of input helps strengthen the College’s overall ability to protect and serve the public interest through quality registered nursing regulation.
