Getting ready to start my day doing a job I still love. Being a family doctor Twenty years later, I would choose it again.

The OurCare Standards are a way for every person to assess whether they are receiving the primary care they deserve and whether the primary care in their province measures up We hope it sets direction for policy-making and is a framework through which we can evaluate reforms

Congratulations to all those with matched with family medicine on Match Day #CaRMSMatch. See our letter from our President, Dr. Mekalai Kumanan ontariofamilyphysicians.ca/news/carms-mat…

The priority is to ensure children are caught up or getting their regularly scheduled vaccines. Thanks to family doctors Allan Grill And DrAlykhanAbdulla for sharing important updates on measles cbc.ca/news/health/wh…

In Ontario, we are seeing measles cases, in part due to routine childhood vaccinations missed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Make sure children are up to date with their vaccines 👉bit.ly/3IYij4C

Measles is highly contagious. 9 in 10 people who are around a person with measles will become infected if they are not protected by the vaccine. The best protection against measles is getting vaccinated.

"40 years after the Canada health act found its place in our history we are more than ready for the next act. That act should move us from an inefficient assortment of centres of excellence to a coordinated approach with guaranteed access to primary care." Thanks Jane Philpott!

Family doctors are the foundation of Ontario’s health care system, and Ontario needs family doctors spending time with patients, not on paperwork. The OCFP will continue to advocate and bring forward solutions to help reduce the administrative burden.

Important and welcomed news from MOHLTC for primary care and family doctors with these initiatives that will help lift administrative burden and make more time for direct patient care. Ontario Health working in collaboration to support and advance 👏👏

Happy #DoctorsDay to all the dedicated physicians. Family doctors deliver 52% of medical services but account for just 5.7% of national health spending. Your tireless efforts and expertise are essential to keeping Canadians healthy. ow.ly/7Xtt50Rtqst #NationalPhysiciansDay

Total health spending in Denmark 🇩🇰 is similar to Canada 🇨🇦, yet almost everyone in Denmark has access to primary care I'm here on a 9-day tour to learn how they make it work Today I met with Morten Petersen, CEO of sundhed.dk, the Danish e-health platform 🧵

If it’s not documented, it’s not tracked. 😩❤️ Wondering if I should start leaving this in my own notes.

Fun fact: nearly every person in Denmark 🇩🇰 has the name of their GP (or group of GPs) on their healthcard It's an organized system where 98+% have access to primary care. How do they do it? One key lies in how GPs are organized. 🧵 (photos of Christian Folsach's practice)
