Notification of Complaint to Sponsor and Supervisor

Policy Statement

When a complaint is received against a physician holding a licence on the Conditional Register, the College will notify the physician’s sponsor and supervisor of the complaint. The general nature of the complaint will be shared at that time. The extent of any further disclosure to the sponsor regarding the details of the complaint and investigation will be at the discretion of the Registrar. The physician subject to the complaint will be copied on the notification to the sponsor and supervisor.

The resolution of the complaint will also be shared with the physician, the physician’s sponsor and their supervisor.

In reporting to the sponsor, the College will disclose the full decision. The supervisor will be advised of any disciplinary finding which is publicly available.

This policy will be brought to the attention of physicians upon being licensed.
