STRATEGIC PLAN 2024-27
BCCOHP is delivering on the promise of modernized professional regulation of the oral health team.
In line with this strategic plan, our work is risk based, data informed and collaborative — and focused on outcomes for patients and the public. Our continued work in integrating our core regulatory functions is informed by a commitment to the need for health equity and culturally safe and humble process and care.
We believe that everyone will be able to see themselves in our vision statement: patients/public, oral health care professionals, and those within BCCOHP.
“We’re fully invested in the goal to put patients first… and strengthen regulatory colleges’ ability to deliver on their mandate to protect the public.”
– Honorable Adrian Dix, BC’s Minister of Health (2020, amended)
“As a health regulator, patient safety is at the heart of our work. The creation of BCCOHP has resulted in a more resilient, fit-for-purpose organization and allows a sustained focus on the innovation and new ways of thinking and working required to improve health outcomes for all people who call British Columbia home.”
– Carl Roy, Board Chair and Chris Hacker, Registrar and CEO
An organization’s core values must be strong, consistent and reflect core principles that stand the test of time, even when the landscape undergoes a dramatic shift.
– Chris Hacker, Registrar and CEO
