Advocate for Change with our election toolkit!
BC Family Doctors and the BC College of Family Physicians are asking you to join us in speaking out for family medicine. Our election toolkit will guide you on how you can share your story and push for needed changes in our healthcare system.
Patients are at the centre of everything that you do as family doctors. When you’re not appropriately supported and resourced, it impacts the quality of care your patients receive. The upcoming provincial election is an opportunity for you to impact funding, patient care, and working conditions for you and your patients.
Our toolkit highlights three asks for family medicine:
- Patients before paperwork
- Respect and representation for family doctors
- Business and practice supports for family doctors
Take action!
There are three ways you can get your message out. You’ll find all the resources you need in the toolkit.
1. Talk to your local candidates (bring our 2024 Advocacy toolkit leave-behind to share with the candidate)
2. Share your story in a letter to the editor of your local newspaper
3. Amplify your voice through social media, using #bcdocscare
