Event Details

October 29, 2026

6:00 pm

7:00 pm

A virtual discussion about administrative burden and access to specialists and diagnostics in PCN 5.

Family physicians and nurse practitioners practising in PCN 5 are invited to join a one-hour virtual town hall hosted by the PCN 5 Steering Committee.

The Steering Committee wants to hear directly from local FPs and NPs about two issues affecting day-to-day practice:

Administrative burden

Which single paperwork or administrative task would give you back the most time if it were fixed?

Access to specialists and diagnostics

Where do referrals most often stall, and what workaround has worked for you?

Your feedback will give the Steering Committee the local context it needs to provide informed advice and endorsement on Vancouver Division of Family Practice initiatives and decisions.
