On May 3, BCCFP President Dr. Vincent Wong joined Stephen Quinn on the CBC Early Edition radio show to discuss actions on reducing the administrative burden on family physicians.
In a bid to free up valuable time for direct patient care, we teamed up with BC Family Doctors to write a sick note template for employers. Providing comprehensive, relationship-based care is why so many choose the unique specialty of family medicine – and we want to ensure family physicians have the capacity to provide this.
We’re pleased that greater attention is being called to this topic and would like to thank Stephen and the team for asking Dr. Wong on the show. Listen back to the important conversation here: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-91/clip/16061482
There are a number of other organizations doing great work in this area – read more here.
