Happy 2020 Nanaimo!

We started the New Year off right in Nanaimo Regional General Hospital (NRGH) today. It was the inaugural shift for the GP in Hospital (GPIH) or Family Doctor of the Day (FDOD) program. My colleague, KW (thank you!), bravely went where no community FP has gone before… more on this later.

Relational medicine in hospital took a positive step forward in our community.

With community Family Medicine in a downturn, right now… it is our hope to help rebuild and revitalize this lost art (and science). This blog will help chronicle some of those teachings/learnings, innovations and improvements (can you say rough draft for an upcoming textbook?).

Hoping that everyone has a healthy and happy 2020!
