CPSBC has recently noted some confusion among registrants about how to update a primary practice location.
When a registrant moves their practice, there are two separate steps required to keep information current:
- Update primary practice location in the registrant portal on CPSBC’s website.
- Notify CPSBC if the location of medical records has changed.
Registrants’ primary practice locations are published in CPSBC’s registrant directory, so it is important that this information is current. Updates should be made within 14 days of a relocation. When reviewing their information, registrants should ensure the correct address is marked as both primary and publishable. If CPSBC has only one address on file and it is a home address, that address will automatically appear in the registrant directory.
If a registrant’s medical records are stored at a different location from where they practise, CPSBC must be notified by email: registration@cpsbc.ca.
Registrants will also be asked to confirm practice locations and medical record locations during annual licence renewal.
