On February 17, 2021, the Hearing Committee of the Nova Scotia College of Physiotherapists (the “NSCP”) accepted a Settlement Agreement advanced by the NSCP and Daniel Purcell, and recommended by the Investigation Committee of the NSCP pursuant to Section 50 of the Physiotherapy Act.
The Settlement Agreement contained agreed facts, the allegation against Mr. Purcell, the admissions of Mr. Purcell, and the agreed disposition.
The first edition of the virtual version of the clinical component of the PCE is being delivered Sunday, March 21 - Monday, March 22, 2021 for candidates who have been waiting for the exam. The virtual exam has a number of space requirements which student, new grad, intern, and resident physiotherapists may not have access to. In order to ensure candidates have access to the required space the CPA (Canadian Physiotherapy Association) has created a Facebook group to facilitate a voluntary space exchange between CPA members and exam candidates. CPA considers this a public Facebook page and therefore is not just limited to their members.
How It Works
The Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators is looking for examiners at the Halifax site for the November PCE exam.

As we get ready for the 5,000 participants joining us next year, we have some exciting activities taking place throughout Nova Scotia.”
