Attend a Discipline Hearing

Overview

What is a discipline hearing?

Discipline hearings are conducted by a panel consisting of at least three members of the Inquiry Committee.

Hearings are held following the investigation of a complaint against an RN and are used to determine if the RN is guilty of an offence as charged.

In accordance with the Regulated Health Professions Act, “the registrar may issue a public notice of the hearing in any manner he or she considers appropriate but the notice must not include the investigated member’s name.”

Upcoming hearing dates are posted on this webpage a week before the scheduled date.
