Primary Care Network - Langley, Canada - Langley Division of Family Practice

Description

Background
The Primary Care Network (PCN) is a provincial initiative that is looking to redesign and transform primary care.

A PCN is a clinical network of local primary care service providers located in a geographical area, with patient medical homes (PMHs) as the foundation.

A PCN is enabled by a partnership between the local division of family practice and health authority, along with local First Nations and Indigenous partners.

In a PCN, physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, allied health care providers, health authority service providers, and community organizations work together to provide all the primary care services a local population requires.

Langley has been funded to develop three PCNs and has begun to implement this program of work.

The Langley Division of Family Practice is responsible for the overall operations of the PCN which is governed by the PCN Steering Committee, a table of the listed partners.

The Langley Division of Family Practice (LDFP) is a non-profit society whose members encompass family physicians, post grad medical residents and nurse practitioners in the City of Langley and Langley Township.

The Division is governed by a Board of Directors and is managed by the Executive Director (ED).

Its members work to improve patient access to local primary care, increase local physicians' influence on health care delivery and policy, and provide professional support for physicians.

The LDFP conducts business on the unceded and traditional shared territories of the Kwantlen, Matsqui and Katzie First Nations.
