NSCRT Professional Conduct

Respiratory Therapy became a self regulated health profession with the proclamation of the Respiratory Therapists Act. The Nova Scotia College of Respiratory Therapists regulates the practice of Respiratory Therapy by setting standards for entry to practice, establishing standards of practice, insuring continued competency of licensed members and dealing with professional conduct issues. Through the professional conduct process the NSCRT seeks to inhibit professional misconduct, conduct unbecoming a respiratory therapist, incompetence and incapacity by investigating and processing complaints against a member. It does this so as to ”serve and protect the public interest; preserve the integrity of the profession and maintain public confidence in the ability of the profession to regulate itself”.
