Standards of Practice for NSCNR Registrants

Standards of Practice represent the minimum professional practice expectations approved by a Board for a Registrant of a particular designation in a given setting or role, as defined under the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA).

NSCNR Registrants are responsible to follow all Standards of Practice related to their general licensure, specific professional designation and all Reserved Practices.

NOTE: Some Standards of Practice are continued from the former regulatory body, the Nova Scotia College of Chiropractors. Those are in effect for all related Registrants of the NSCNR until replaced or amended by the Nova Scotia Chiropractic and Naturopathic Regulator.
