News in B.C.
British Columbia is taking action to attract doctors, nurses from U.S.
The Province is taking new steps to attract more doctors and nurses from the U.S. by fast-tracking credential recognition and launching a co-ordinated, targeted recruitment campaign.
Establishing physician payment model improves care for patients
The payment model will bring more doctors into family practice and allow them to see and spend more time with patients.
Getting more internationally trained family doctors working sooner
Supporting three times more family physicians trained outside of Canada to work in B.C.’s health-care system, faster, and creating a new associate physician role to provide immediate solutions for people accessing health-care services.
Improving care with nurse-to-patient ratios
When nurse-to-patient ratios are imbalanced, the quality of care goes down. That’s why we’re setting minimum ratios for acute care settings and creating new incentives to recruit and retain more nurses. This means better working conditions for nurses and better care for patients.
Helping more nurses practice in B.C., faster
Too many barriers have prevented many nurses from entering or returning to work in the health-care system. Removing these obstacles means more nurses can work in the field they love, and people in B.C. can get better access to the health-care they deserve.
Helping people get emergency care faster
We’re taking steps to add the role of physician assistants to the health-care team in B.C. It is an important next step in the actions we’re taking to retain, recruit and train health-care workers so people in B.C. can get the health-carethey need.
