VISION

Excellence in nursing regulation for the health of all Albertans.


MISSION

Protect and serve the public interest using Right-touch regulation.*

 

Proportionate

Regulators should only intervene when necessary. Remedies should be appropriate to the risk posed, and costs identified and minimized.

Targeted

Regulation should be focused on the problem, and minimize side effects.

Accountable

Regulators must be able to justify decisions, and be subject to public scrutiny.


Consistent

Rules and standards must be joined up and implemented fairly.


Transparent

Regulators should be open, and keep regulations simple and user-friendly.


Agile

Regulation must look forward and be able to adapt to and anticipate change.
