If you’ve ever felt powerless to improve primary care access in your community, then you have first-hand experience with a key gap in BC’s primary health care system. Many of us struggle to find timely access to a family doctor, nurse practitioner, or a primary care team. We also lack opportunities to improve care for our broader communities.

We’ll talk with Tara Kiran from the OurCare project, a national conversation with people in Canada about the future of primary care, and learn why the public identified accountability to communities as one of six standards for primary care. Then we’ll learn about existing models for improving community participation in primary care. We’ll focus on Community Health Centres and hear from community leaders’ first hand experience in shaping primary care in their community.
