Governments need to work to restore Canadian's faith that their health care system will be there for them when they need it. This will require strategic investment and implementing proven solutions such as team-based primary care. By working together in this time of crisis, we can build a health system that is responsive to the needs of Canadians and provide a positive work environment in which health workers to thrive.
Family doctors are experiencing first-hand the extreme strain in the health care system. Without urgent action, Canadians will continue to suffer. Now is the time for all levels of government to implement solutions and ensure Canadians have timely access to high quality care provided by a team.
With the ratio of nurse practitioners in Canada being significantly lower compared to our neighbours to the south, provincial and territorial action plans that address access to primary care for Canadians must commit to retaining and recruiting a larger number of nurse practitioners and other designations of nurses across the country. From community health centres to nurse practitioner-led clinics, nurses are eager to play a greater, expanded role in primary care as part of a broader team of health care providers.
Canadians no longer accept the status quo with poor access to primary care, diagnostic testing, and surgical intervention. Canada's health system lags behind other countries in its utilization of the nursing profession. We must maximize the contribution of all providers by extending their scope of practice. It is time for impactful reforms by unleashing the true potential of Canada's largest health workforce.
The Canadian healthcare system, where 'universal' seems to mean universally long wait times, universally overworked doctors and nurses, and universally frustrating bureaucracy. It's a marvel of modern inefficiency, where getting a timely appointment can feel like winning the lottery, and where the term 'emergency room' often translates to 'wait for hours before someone sees you.'
The system's charm lies in its ability to keep you guessing - will your surgery be next month, next year, or next decade? And let's not forget the thrill of navigating through endless paperwork and referrals just to get a basic check-up.
In this healthcare 🌟 utopia, the phrase 'free healthcare' comes with an asterisk - *free, but at what cost to your sanity? It's a place where the only thing more legendary than the politeness of Canadians is the length of their healthcare queues. 🇨🇦
But remember, this system is good only until you need it the most. Suddenly, the cracks begin to show, and the promises of timely care fade into distant dreams.
