The Shalloway FPN provides family physicians with structure and supports to address physician and practice issues in our local area. Through Central area physician consultations, the FPN has identified several priorities to start with, including:
Local proactive FPN recruitment & retention activities;
Delivery of local wellness programs for physicians and their practices;
Providing continuing professional programs for care of the elderly;
Working with Central Health to improve care of older adults, ensuring physicians are more effectively integrated into their care and improving the long‐term care patient referral and management processes;
Developing, adapting, and ensuring family physicians can avail of practice and patient supports through local youth mental health programming;
Implementing family physician‐centric communication and collaboration mechanisms to address common priorities with the RHA; and,
Leveraging family physician experience with practice management and sharing of clinical expertise between physicians.
