DESCRIPTION:Canada’s universal health system is facing an unprecedented cri
 sis: one in six Canadians lack a primary care provider and health needs po
 st-pandemic are surging. Knowledge and know-how to overcome this crisis ha
 ve never been in greater demand.\n\nJoin us for the fourth seminar in the 
 3rd edition of the Global Primary Health Care seminar series “Health worke
 rs and frontline care in the post-COVID-19 context” which draws on evidenc
 e and insights\, both local and global\, on how to revitalize Canada’s hea
 lth workforce and primary care. This seminar series is a collaboration bet
 ween the Department of Family Medicine and the School of Population and Gl
 obal Health at �󷢲�Ʊƽ̨.\n\nThe limitations of current approaches
  to delivering primary care are only too evident since the COVID-19 pandem
 ic\, with millions lacking access to family physicians in Canada. The deba
 tes around the role of the private provision\, and the understanding of wh
 at is meant by the private sector have also re-emerged as different soluti
 ons are debated.\n\nThe seminar will look at examples of innovations in se
 rvice delivery in Canada\, using non-traditional channels of delivery as w
 ell as using new technology. Through understanding these new approaches to
  primary care delivery\, their potential impact as well as their scope of 
 expansion can be understood\, alongside the broader benefits of giving spa
 ce for innovation in service delivery\, an area in which the private secto
 r traditionally excels.\n\nWhen: Wednesday\, March 29\, 2023\, from noon t
 o 1 p.m.\n\nRegister to attend on Zoom\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n	Joel Finlayson | M

 ers and frontline care in the post-COVID-19 context”\n\n	Across the country
  and globally\, there are visible cracks in the primary healthcare system.
  In Canada alone\, millions lack access to a dedicated family physician or
  equivalent frontline provider\, and unsurprisingly visits to emergency ro
 oms are increasing\, further straining an over-stretched system. Central t
 o an effective primary health system is a sufficient number of empowered a
 nd satisfied health workers. Instead\, shortages of key health personnel\,
  grievances\, burnout and turnover have been seen across the country\, and
  globally not only placing the general population at risk but also aggrava
 ting working conditions for other health workers. These challenges are due
  to many factors\, including choices about the health workforce and the br
 oader contexts within which health systems function. Learn more about the 
 series.\n\n
