Family Practitioner/General Practitioner
Health Match BC
Date: 3 weeks ago
City: Nanaimo, BC
Contract type: Full time
Role and Facility Information
We are seeking primary care physicians to staff an innovative new patient stabilization and transition service in Nanaimo.
The service will provide primary care follow-up to patients who have been recently discharged from the emergency department and from inpatient hospital care. The service was developed through a Nanaimo community medical response to help address the needs of unattached patients, and to support the NRGH ED and acute care units.
The service provides access to a course of follow-up care to reduce the risk of admission or re-admission for unattached patients. This much-needed service will support patients with their immediate post-discharge primary care needs, and the team will work to link patients to other services for on-going care and support. Patients referred to the service will be varied from simple follow-up (e.g. cellulitis) to patients with more complex care needs requiring further follow-up and connection to other services. Service will be by referred, booked appointments only.
The role will offer flexible hours, team-based care, and a solid administrative team for support.
Start Date: As soon as possible
