Concerns about a Respiratory Therapist
It is the responsibility of the Nova Scotia Regulator of Respiratory Therapy (NSRRT) (the "Regulator") to address concerns related to practice of Respiratory Therapists in Nova Scotia. If you have a concern regarding a respiratory therapist (including a respiratory therapist practicing as an anesthesia assistant), please review this information to determine whether filing a complaint with the Regulator is the best way to address your concern, and to ensure that you have the information you need to begin the process.
The NSRRT investigates all complaints and processes them through the Registrar, the Complaints Committee, and the Professional Conduct Committee. The rules for how complaints are processed are set by the Regulated Health Professions Act and Regulations. Refer to the menu options below for more information on the complaints process.
