“By BC physicians, for BC physicians”. GPAC clinical practice guidelines are now available in iPod Touch and iPhone format – FREE! This free application contains over 30 clinical practice guidelines in abridged format. The app is easily updated as more become available. Guidelines can be searched, sorted by topic, and include pictures, flow sheets, and other useful information. This application serves as a condensed, portable companion to the full clinical practice guidelines found at www.BCGuidelines.ca, where over 50 guidelines are available in a range of formats.

The Guidelines and Protocols Advisory Committee (GPAC) is a jointly chaired committee between the British Columbia Medical Association and BC Ministry of Health Services, reporting to the Medical Services Commission.  GPAC has engaged practicing physicians in BC – including general practitioners and specialists - to evaluate clinical evidence, and publish on numerous conditions, with particular focus on circumstances in BC.
