Do you think that a regulatory college is mandatory? Do you think that it is a waste of money? Do you know what regulation entails?

On November 1st at 11AM PST, there were representatives from various organizations in an open, online discussion regarding the establishment of a regulatory college in British Columbia. The good, the bad and the ugly, they covered it all.

BCSLS launches Public Education Campaign!

We need your help! As you know, the BCSLS has been working with allied professions, such as the BC Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (BCAMRT) in pursuit of the creation of a regulatory college for medical technologists such as Medical Laboratory and Medical Radiation Technologists.

Today, we are launching a joint public education campaign with the BCAMRT to gain support from the Provincial Minister of Health through the release of the Patient Safety First website:

www.patientsafetyfirstbc.com

This site is intended to help the public become more aware of the need for a regulatory college, and to give the public and our members an opportunity to show their support by sending an e-mail to the Honourable Mike de Jong, Minister of Health, recommending the establishment of a regulatory college for medical technologists.

As part of this campaign, we are also investing in radio and newspaper advertising to drive the public to the website.
