Refreshing violence prevention training
We are updating the Provincial Violence Prevention Curriculum (PVPC). The last update to the PVPC took place in 2016 and there have been many changes in healthcare and in our province since then. To ensure we are making updates that support health workers in their real-world environments, we’ve been asking for their opinions through in-person and virtual meetings and surveys. Here’s a quick look at engagement for the updated PVPC.

The refreshed PVPC
The refreshed PVPC includes eLearning and in-person training. There is a 3.5-hour online course offered to all health authority workers and facilitator-led training based on roles and risks.
The refreshed curriculum is designed for all workers in the health sector and incorporates best practices and training levels necessary for different roles, occupations, environments, and risk levels.
Within the PVPC Refresh project, SWITCH BC is also refreshing the PVPC eLearning modules for physicians with Doctors of BC.
Here’s an example of the curriculum journey for a Registered Nurse who provides direct care in a hospital:
Scenario choices in the refreshed eLearning curriculum
The eLearning core content and skills are the same for all participants. There are also scenario choices so learners can choose to practice the skills in the environments that most closely apply to their role and workplace. Indigenous Cultural Safety (ICS), Equity Diversity and Inclusivity (EDI), and Trauma Informed Practice (TIP) principles are introduced and woven throughout this course.
