What is a Primary Care Network?
Seeking qualified Family Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, and Allied Health Professionals for Primary Care Networks (PCN) in British Columbia, Canada
A Primary Care Network is a geographic space where all community-based primary healthcare providers are networked together.
PCN members work together to collaboratively provide comprehensive, patient-centred, team-based and culturally safe healthcare to meet the needs of their individual patients as well as the community.
Primary Care Networks work better for patients – so they can get the care when and where they need it – and for providers – so they are able to care for their patients while being supported by an interdisciplinary team of providers within a community network.
Who is part of the team?
- Family Practitioners
- Nurse Practitioners
- Registered Nurses
- Physiotherapists
- Clinical Pharmacists
- Occupational Therapists
- Medical Lab Technologists
- MRI Technologists
- Social Workers
- Registered Dieticians
- First Nation resources and Traditional Healers
