Short-Term Contract - May-September 2023 (5 months)

6-8 hours per week

Healthcare is transforming, and Primary Care participation and leadership is critical to the success of this change.

The Cambridge North Dumfries Ontario Health Team (CND OHT) is committed to engaging primary care clinicians (physicians and nurse practitioners) in healthcare transformation. Primary care is the foundation of the health care system and has a unique perspective on existing challenges and pain points that must be addressed to enable transformation and integration of care.

The Ministry of Health has communicated the commitment to support collaboration and engagement of primary care partners through the creation of primary care networks. As per recent announcements, there is an intention that every Ontario Health Team will include a group of primary care providers organized in a network to be part of decision-making and to improve access to care for patients.
