Careers in Health Care - image of emergency medical technicians transporting patient

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Health is responsible for appointing members of the public to the councils of 26 self-regulating health professional associations. 

Licensing and regulating certain health professions assures accountability by:

  • ensuring that the health professional is qualified to practise;
  • setting standards of practice and a code of ethics that the health professional must follow;
  • requiring the health professional to be registered and licensed to use the title of the profession and perform certain services; and 
  • ensuring complaints about the professional are investigated and disciplinary action taken if necessary.

If you are concerned about the conduct of a health professional, you may wish to:

  • Discuss the problem with the individual. Concerns sometime result from a misunderstanding or inadequate communication between you and the health provider.
  • Speak with their supervisor or an agency representative.
  • Contact the Regional Quality of Care Co-ordinator, if the professional works for a health region. A Quality of Care Co-ordinator helps individuals or families with concerns about health services delivered in his/her region.
  • Contact the appropriate regulatory body for information or advice.

Each board (or council) of a self-regulating health profession in Saskatchewan includes a representative from the public, to improve transparancy and accountability.
