Physicians around the province have shown that together we can create change. Over the years, BC Family Doctors has led changes to family physician compensation and primary care reform. We are making sure family doctors’ voices are heard and patients’ needs are met.
You spoke. We listened. We delivered.
In the past year, we:
- Convened the first-ever Issues Forum in February 2024, where participants explored conversations based on themes from our member survey.
- Developed our 2025 Physician Master Agreement priorities that focus on bringing about change to bolster the future of family medicine and the healthcare system.
- Co-led negotiations with Doctors of BC and the Ministry of Health to launch the Longitudinal Family Physician (LFP) Payment Model expansion to facilities-based care.
- Created new billing tools and resources to help members transition to and bill under the expanded LFP Payment Model for facilities-based care.
- Improved fee-for-service rates to address underfunded fees and launched the Fee-for-Service Modernization project.
- Launched first-ever Speak out for family medicine: Prioritizing Patient Care, a joint election advocacy toolkit developed with our partners, the BC College of Family Physicians (BCCFP) that included a media training webinar for family physicians
We still have more to do. Together, we can transform primary care into an ecosystem where physicians and patients can truly thrive.
We’re just getting started. We can’t do it without you.
Let’s create a new tomorrow where everyone can thrive.
