📌 The integration of a community-based approach into patient care enhances the potential for prevention and early intervention while simultaneously promoting awareness and education among high-risk populations. ⚖️ By connecting with the community and understanding the unique challenges faced by different social groups, nurses can play a pivotal role in improving cardiovascular health. Initiatives like this not only advance health equity but also provide practical solutions for reducing hospital burdens, thus supporting the sustainability of the healthcare system. 💯 It is evident that such actions should be reinforced with appropriate support from policies, educational programs, and funding resources to expand their implementation and maximize their positive impact on society. 👏 Congratulations on this excellent initiative! Actions like these are incredibly valuable and insightful. 🙏

This is such an unfortunate situation in Tillsonburg and one that highlights the differences in how family doctors are recruited, supported, and onboarded into practices in Ontario. Tillsonburg is just outside my recruitment area so I felt helpless when the doctors planning to leave contacted me to ask for help finding replacements. They have also reached out to the neighbouring recruitment team in Woodstock. Family doctor recruitment is not managed provincially in Ontario. Each county/ town/ city has to create and fund this position themselves. In many cases the path to having a family doctor recruiter starts by a team of healthcare leaders advocating and pitching the municipality or health region for support. Tillsonburg is experiencing this drastic family doctor shortage without having a recruitment person in place to assist with finding and onboarding new doctors. When this is the case, it falls on volunteers within the medical community to manage the recruitment tasks. Having discussed this with the people in that volunteer role in London before our recruitment program started, they stated not having a recruitment lead here was making it hard for doctors to practice in this area. Recruitment leads have to continually fundraise from their OHT, hospitals, business community/ Chamber of Commerce, municipality, community foundations, developers, business leaders, etc to keep their programs going. They raise funds for their programs which includes their pay, travel, and materials and most also need funds for incentive money for newly-signed family doctors who are choosing to start practices where they can get financial relief from their student debt and moving costs. As different communities have different abilities to provide these funds, there is a disparity between areas with a recruiter and incentive funds and without. Tillsonburg has neither. *The physician recruiters of Ontario have self-organized into a group called Ontario Physician Recruitment Alliance and under the leadership of Jill Croteau, have created a job board with family doctor postings from across the province. (This is new so not all the areas have their postings up yet). www.opra.ca -The GTA does not have family doctor recruiters and this task is typically handled by clinic owners.
