Improving access to care for patients in Canada. Position Statement.

2007 Oct
College of Family Physicians of Canada.

This year’s theme for the main public policy initiative of The College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) is “Improving Access to Care for Patients in Canada” with particular attention to Primary Care Wait Times, Access to Family Physicians, and Collaborative Interprofessional Care that emphasizes the relationships between family doctors and nurses.

These messages and recommendations are based on policies and positions of the CFPC Board and key Board Committees, (e.g. The Advisory Committee on Primary Care Renewal),as well as CFPC endorsed reports of external groups in which CFPC members have participated, (e.g. Primary Health Care Transition Fund projects such as Enhancing Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Primary Health Care and the Shared Mental Health Care Initiative).
