About

As a health care professional, you are responsible and accountable for your decisions and actions, including inaction, in your practice. 

It is important to your practice to understand:

  • The differences in your scope of practice at the individual, regulatory (as applicable), and employment levels.
  • What is expected of you in your practice setting. These can be identified in communication with your practice area manager.

The resources listed below are a starting point for your reference. These links are both internal and external to Nova Scotia Health. Content provided on this page is optional to review. Any policies or LMS courses required by your practice area will be identified by your leadership team (i.e. manager, team lead, educator).
