Provincial Violence Prevention for Medium and High Risk Departments
The Provincial Violence Prevention Curriculum (PVPC) is an eLearning course to educate and train health care workers on the competencies required to reduce verbal and physical violence from patients and family members.
Providing education to employees is an important part of a comprehensive violence prevention program.
For those providing direct care, it forms the foundation for further training.
For those who do not provide direct patient care, it helps build your understanding and ability to assess situations, and know when and how to seek support or resources.
This course takes about 3.5 hours to complete, and covers:
• Point of care risk assessments
• Behavioural care plans for those providing direct care or may interact with clients
• Communication and de-escalation techniques
• When and how to call for help
• Reporting and post-incident requirements
The course supports and incorporates Indigenous Cultural Safety, Trauma Informed Practice, and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion into the curriculum, and explains how they relate to violence prevention.
For the Low Risk Curriculum, please refer to the Provincial Violence Prevention for Low Risk Departments
All healthcare employees in Medium and High Risk Departments who are expected to deliver care (e.g., nurses, therapists, aides), or work in areas that deliver care (e.g., unit clerks). Please note: BCEHS and CHS employees with PHSA will need to register for the PVPC curriculum that has been aligned with their operational practices (PVPC-B for Paramedics and PVPC-C for Correctional Health Services) |
