The following publications contain practice parameters and standards which are to be adopted by all Saskatchewan Respiratory Therapists in the care of their patients/clients and in the practice of the profession.

Standards of Practice

The Standards of Practice (Standards) outline the framework for legal and professional practice for all Saskatchewan College of Respiratory Therapists (SCRT) members, in all categories of licensure.

Code of Ethics

The Code of Ethics is intended to provide guidance for the ethical behavior of all members of the SCRT regardless of their professional role, level of experience, and practice context. Compliance with the code ensures the members’ behavior allows them to fulfill the duties and objects of the College as outlined in The Respiratory Therapists Act and its bylaws.

National Competency Standards

This National Competency Framework (NCF) serves as the pan-Canadian reference on respiratory therapy competencies for practitioners, educators, employers, regulators, exam and accreditation agencies, and other stakeholders. The NCF summarizes the competencies relevant to RTs for entry to practice (Part I) and throughout their career (Part II). It identifies four career stages and supports career planning, development, and progression.
