Practice support coaches for the GPSC Practice Support Program (PSP) are onboarding into their roles at Doctors of BC throughout July, August, and September. It’s a key step in bringing together all PSP staff onto one team and transitioning service delivery from the health authorities into Doctors of BC. The committee announced in fall 2021 that GPSC-funded practice support staff from the health authorities would move to Doctors of BC, following extensive consultation with physicians, Divisions of Family Practice staff, and other key stakeholders.
The recent appointment of Dr Sari Cooper as co-chair of the General Practice Services Committee (GPSC) has created an opportunity for a family physician interested in playing a role in the future of primary care. We encourage anyone who is interested to consider submitting an application to join the committee as the newest Doctors of BC member.
The Board of Directors of Doctors of BC has appointed Dr Sari Cooper as the new co-chair of the General Practice Services Committee (GPSC). Dr Cooper is a family physician in Victoria, BC who has practiced community-based longitudinal family medicine since 2001. She has been a member of the GPSC since 2019.
Recruiting coaches at Doctors of BC for the GPSC Practice Support Program (PSP) is now underway with positions slated to be filled by early fall 2022. It’s the next phase of transitioning PSP service delivery from the health authorities into one organization, an undertaking announced in fall 2021.
On June 9, 2022, the GPSC will host a province-wide virtual knowledge exchange on providing culturally safe and relational ways to deliver primary care to Indigenous peoples and communities.
