BC FAMILY MEDICINE CRISIS:
NONE OF OUR DOCTORS ARE ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS
Currently none of the family doctors at NSMG are able to accept new patients. There is currently a crisis in Family Medicine here in BC. Family doctors need to be better supported for us to be able to provide care to the people of this province and this needs to be done urgently.
There is currently a Patient Advocacy Group called BCHealthcarematters. On their website you can find information about how you can help to advocate for family doctors. As family doctors we want to be able to provide care to patients - but we are stretched our limits and we cannot take on any more without support.
If you live in British Columbia and need a family doctor or nurse practitioner, register for the Health Connect Registry at
