Dr. Wan Wan Yap from the BCRS and Marc Venturi from CAR enjoying European Congress of Radiology (ECR) 2026 in beautiful Vienna. Always great to see Canadian radiology represented on the international stage.

The BCRS met with the BC Chiropractic Association to discuss proposed scope of practice changes, specifically related to ordering diagnostic medical imaging. The purpose of the meeting was to better understand their proposal and to communicate the Section’s considerations and concerns.

As always, our priority is ensuring appropriate, timely, and high-quality patient care within a sustainable imaging system.

Ahead of the upcoming Estimates process in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, the BCRS met with Dr. Anna Kindy, BC Health Critic, to ensure our priorities are clearly understood before detailed budget review begins.

This timing matters. Engaging in advance of Estimates allows us to frame the pressures facing Radiologists before formal budget scrutiny begins.

The BCRS continues to advocate proactively so that Radiology remains central in provincial health planning.

Dr. Wan Wan Yap and Amy Smith recently met with Jason Craig, Knowledge Lead, and Andrea Burton, CEO of the Physiotherapy Association of British Columbia, to discuss the proposed scope of practice change that would allow physiotherapists to order diagnostic medical imaging.

The BCRS shared key concerns related to ongoing radiologist shortages, wait times, appropriateness criteria, and clarification on the most responsible physician for incidental findings.

The Physiotherapy Association of British Columbia expressed a strong commitment to collaboration and invited BCRS to serve as an active partner throughout the process.

We are encouraged by the openness demonstrated in this meeting and look forward to continued collaboration.

The BCRS recently had the opportunity to connect with the Honourable Josie Osborne, Minister of Health, alongside Dr. Charlotte Yong-Hing and BCRS CEO Amy Smith.

We look forward to building a strong, collaborative relationship and hope this marks the beginning of ongoing dialogue in support of Radiology and patient care in British Columbia.

We are also hopeful to welcome the Honourable Josie Osborne to the BCRS Conference in Victoria in May 2026.

02/03/2026

We are proud to congratulate Dr. Charlotte Yong-Hing on receiving the prestigious Dr. Don Rix Award for Physician Leadership, an honour that recognizes a lifetime of outstanding contribution and exemplary leadership in medicine across British Columbia.

Dr. Yong-Hing’s career reflects the very spirit of this award through a deep commitment to patient care, clinical excellence, and advancing the profession through mentorship, advocacy, and collaboration.

Please join us in celebrating this remarkable achievement.

Advocacy in action.
On Tuesday, January 27, Dr. Wan Wan Yap, Dr. Will Siu, and Amy Smith met in Victoria with Yongmei Chen, Executive Director of Surgical and Medical Imaging, and Ian Rongve, Assistant Deputy Minister.
The meetings focused on key BCRS priorities, including after-hours call coverage and Interventional Radiology. These were productive discussions with important takeaways and potential collaborative solutions identified. Follow-up meetings have been scheduled, and we will continue to keep members informed as this work progresses.
