Understanding the College’s perspective on safer supply

The College’s role is to ensure registrants provide safe care to their patients. It has no role in advocating for or endorsing any particular clinical intervention or settling the scientific debate on the risks and benefits of safer supply. The College defers to experts in this field who are working together to gather more evidence to inform clinical guidelines and program developments.

Registrants who are interested in learning more about SUD and safer supply can engage with their health authority or the BC Centre for Substance Use to find out which programs and training are available in their jurisdiction.
