Assessment, Diagnosis, Treatment
Communication
Duty of Care
Risk Management and Safety

Note: With the introduction of these new standards, the Providing or Refusing Care Standard will be rescinded on August 1, 2024. In the meantime, registrants should continue to follow the expectations outlined in the current Providing or Refusing Care Standard, and we encourage all registrants to familiarize themselves with the new Standards and Code of Ethical Conduct.
