Introduction
The Vancouver Primary Care Networks brings you an online series to connect team members working together in PCNs. The goals of the series are to learn, connect and share questions and experiences to help Interprofessional Team (IPT) Clinicians and Primary Care providers referring to the IPT to optimize how they work together to support their patients. To view a summary report from past sessions, click here.
These events are open to family physicians, nurse practitioners and registered nurses currently referring to the IPT.
Thank You for Joining the IPT Engagement Series!
Thank you to everyone who participated in Series 4 of the Interprofessional Team (IPT) Engagement Series. Whether you joined us for every session, attended a few, or participated for the first time, we appreciate your engagement and contributions throughout the series.
Over the past year, Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) have shared valuable knowledge and insights across a wide range of topics, helping to support collaboration, learning, and patient care within our primary care networks.

The session takes place via Zoom on Wednesday, October 14th from 12:00–12:45 PM. Please note that these sessions are open to providers with access to IPT.
Share Your Ideas
Have a topic you'd like to see covered in a future session? We'd love to hear from you.
Participant feedback plays an important role in shaping the IPT Engagement Series. All suggestions are reviewed and considered as we plan future programming to ensure sessions remain relevant and responsive to the needs of providers.
If you'd like to learn more about the IPT or these events, or share your feedback, please contact your Community Network Manager.
Extended Information
In each session, members of the IPT (social workers, occupational therapists, clinical counsellors, clinical pharmacists, and registered dieticians) use different approaches to share information, hold discussions, ask questions, to dive into ways of supporting team based approaches to care. This is a chance for providers to engage directly with our allied health professionals to understand each disciplinary approach and help foster a team-based approach to patient care. Sessions will be hosted by the Community Network Managers on Zoom.
This series is planned and supported by an interdepartmental working group which includes IPT Clinicians, the Clinical Operations Supervisor, member of the PCN Engagement Team and a Community Network Manager.
