    The College’s Prescribing Drugs policy is currently being reviewed. A revised draft of the policy has been developed and is now being circulated for external consultation. The draft policy sets out expectations for all physicians who prescribe drugs or provide drugs samples to patients. It also sets out specific expectations for physicians who prescribe narcotics and controlled substances, including opioids.

    Have your say

    We want to hear your thoughts on the draft policy. For example, we are interested to know:

        • How can the draft policy be improved?
        • Are there issues not addressed in the draft policy that should be?
        • Is there any content in the draft policy that is unnecessary?

    Please submit your comments by August 2, 2019.

    Next Steps

    The feedback received through this consultation will be reviewed and considered in light of the College’s mandate to protect the public. Final decisions regarding policy revisions are made by College Council. Once a final policy has been approved, a copy of the policy will be posted on this page as well as the policy page of the College’s website.

    We value your feedback and thank you for participating in this policy review.
