Registrant Notification Policy

The ACDH Council has approved a Notification Policy, which requires registrants to inform the College of any changes in their contact information within 30 days.

The purpose of this policy is to ensure compliance with:

• The Health Professions Act (HPA) Section 33, subsections 4 and 4.1 and Section 119,
• the Continuity of Care Standard of Practice, which states that the patient has an expectation of ongoing care with the dental hygienist and reasonable steps are to be taken to ensure this is achieved, and
• the expectation that the College can communicate with all registrants regarding important information, including: legislative and regulatory changes, new or updated Standards of Practice, changes to the Continuing Competence Program, and professional conduct concerns or complaints.
