CAM is proud to inform you that on June 15, 2010, An Act Respecting The Regulation Of Certain Health Profession (Bill 17) was passed in Newfoundland & Labrador. This Bill has enacted the Health Professions Act, an umbrella model for governance of certain health professions, including midwifery.The Bill will

• allow for the governance of multiple health professions under one Health Professions Council in combination with profession specific colleges;
• give to the Health Professions Council the responsibility for the regulation of all professions captured by the legislation, including provisions of registration, quality assurance and discipline;
• provide for the creation of profession specific colleges which would be a source of professional expertise to assist and guide the council in the establishment of criteria or benchmarks for registration, entry to practice, and continued competency matters;
• authorize profession specific colleges to establish, in by-laws, the scope of practice, the standards of practice and a code of ethics for the health profession it represents; and
• identify in the Schedule those health professions to which the legislation will apply.
