Submission to PEI Department of Health and Wellness Re: Consultation on Regulation of Podiatrists
Release Date: 09/16/2024 Staff Reference: Sheila BurnsOur members support the regulations outlined for podiatrists. Regulation provides a layer of oversight upon practice and an avenue for a patient to file a complaint with the knowledge that the regulatory college has the ability to discipline the member. Discipline can take many forms, depending upon the case, and results are posted transparently for the safety of other Islanders who may be considering treatment by the healthcare practitioner. More recommendations are made in our submission.
