As a health regulator, the College exists to serve the public interest and ensure patients have access to safe, ethical, competent and equitable care. Along with supporting physiotherapists in the delivery of high-quality care, it’s also our job to investigate complaints or concerns about PTs who may be falling short of their professional obligations. In this month’s blog, we go over some trends in the types of complaints we see and share essential takeaways. https://bit.ly/4eGw45m
