Ethics

Code of Ethical Practices

Our commitment to every Canadian. The Code sets clear, binding standards for how our members engage with healthcare professionals, patients and the public.

Since 1988, our Code of Ethical Practices has demonstrated our commitment to nurturing relationships with healthcare providers that are based on trust, openness and transparency.

The Code is our commitment to all Canadians. It establishes clear guidelines to ensure the health and well-being of people is always our first priority.
