Patient visits will consist of scheduled longitudinal and unscheduled urgent care or same day primary care patient visits. Services to be provided by the physician include but are not limited to:

  • Longitudinal care and attachment to a diverse patient panel, with initial focus on patients with complex medical conditions
  • Provision of 30-35% of urgent primary care services for injuries and illnesses that should be seen by a health care provider within 12 to 24 hours but do not require the level of service or expertise found in an emergency department.

  • Primary care for minor or episodic illnesses;
  • Chronic disease management;
  • Management and co-ordination of patient care across the spectrum of primary, secondary and tertiary care;

As a group of primary care providers, the physician together with the other NQUPCC practitioners (physicians and nurse practitioners) will assist in supporting Saanich Peninsula Hospital inpatient care for their admitted patients. There will be opportunity to participate in a call group program supporting inpatient care.

Island Health looks forward to supporting primary care providers and staff at this alternative payment site to provide innovative primary care services that are at the forefront of primary care improvement in BC.
