Today, on Allied Health Professionals Day, we recognize the approximately 75,000 health professionals in more than 70 professional disciplines who are part of the allied health workforce in BC. Allied health professionals include individuals in the nine professions regulated by the College of Health and Care Professionals of BC.

Allied Health Professionals Day was created in 2018 to recognize the significant contributions of the allied health workforce.

On September 30, CHCPBC observes both Orange Shirt Day and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We stand in solidarity and allyship with Indigenous communities as they continue to reclaim the power and autonomy stolen from them by colonial systems, including the residential school system.

We also take this opportunity to reflect on the progress we have made — and the work still ahead of us — to eliminate Indigenous-specific racism from the health-care system in British Columbia. We look ahead to the spring of 2026, when health profession regulation in this province will take another significant step forward, guided by the Health Professions and Occupations Act. To learn more about this legislation, and how it weaves principles of reconciliation and anti-discrimination into the fabric of our work, read our latest new story: https://chcpbc.org/2025/09/25/prioritizing-anti-discrimination/.

CHCPBC’s Vancouver and Victoria offices will be closed on September 30 and will re-open on October 1.

International Overdose Awareness Day, observed annually on August 31, highlights the ongoing public health crisis affecting communities in BC and worldwide. We recognize the profound impact that overdoses have on individuals, families, and communities. This day reminds us to honour those affected by substance use and overdose while supporting continued efforts toward effective prevention and treatment approaches.

In 2016, the Provincial Health Officer declared a public health emergency due to the significant rise in opioid-related overdose deaths reported in BC since the beginning of that year. Since that time, over 16,000 people in BC have died from overdoses. There was a total of 2,253 deaths related to overdose in 2024 alone, 84% of which occurred indoors, with 47% in private homes.

Understanding the scope of this crisis helps inform compassionate, evidence-based care approaches and reinforces the importance of non-judgmental, trauma-informed practice with all patients and clients.

Health professionals regulated by CHCPBC work across diverse practice settings where they may encounter individuals who may be at risk of opioid-related overdose. Through their direct patient/client contact and therapeutic relationships, health professionals provide compassionate care that treats substance use as a health condition. As part of the health services they provide, when indicated, they can identify risk factors and offer resources on overdose risks, safer use practices, and naloxone availability while connecting patients and clients to appropriate support services.

A registrant reached out to CHCPBC to ask what is the best method in which physical therapists should acquire and maintain competency when using physical therapy treatments that include Clinical Pilates and considering advertising. The registrant had recently taken a course on Clinical Pilates and wanted to incorporate this new service into their website and signage.

This overarching concept of competency extends to all nine professions that the College regulates, and it’s the subject of a concise case study on marketing of competencies to the public. The case study is the first post in a new resource on the CHCPBC website: From the Practice Advisors. Read the response from the College’s Practice Support team to the question in the Clinical Pilates case study: https://chcpbc.org/2025/07/23/clinical-pilates-case-study-marketing-of-competencies-to-the-public/.

CHCPBC has profession-specific Practice Advisors for each of the professions the College regulates. Questions that are sent by registrants will be answered by a Practice Advisor in the same profession as the registrant. For more information, and details on how to send questions to Practice Advisors, see the Practice Support page: https://chcpbc.org/registrants/practice-support/.
