My Family Doctor Cares is our province-wide awareness and advocacy campaign to bring attention to the value of a long-term relationship with a family doctor, and the difficulty that 700,000 British Columbians are having in finding a family doctor.
There are a number of easy ways in which members can help support the campaign.
Read our position paper and research results
Our position paper, Family Doctors Care: The Role and Value of Family Physicians in British Columbia, summarizes the results of the public and member polling research that the BCCFP conducted through an independent research company in the summer of 2019. It also summarizes key findings from desk-side research on the role and value of family physicians. The paper will be presented to members of the legislative assembly and we have requested to meet with the BC Minister of Health to present the report in person.
