Seeking Volunteers — Public Representatives & Physiotherapists
Posted November 5, 2025
NSRPT is seeking volunteers for the Professional Conduct Committee (PCC) for a hearing tentatively scheduled for January 22-23, 2025. A hearing is a structured, impartial process where a three-person panel of the PCC reviews evidence from all sides, hears from witnesses if needed, asks questions, and applies NSRPT legislation, by-laws, and standards. The panel is supported by independent legal counsel. After deliberation, it issues a written decision with reasons. Hearings are generally held in person, with virtual accommodation available when appropriate. The PCC meets only as needed—some years there are no hearings.
