A GP for Me is a joint program of the Government of BC and the BC Medical Association. The program’s aim is to strengthen the health care system by:
- helping people who want a family doctor get one; and
- supporting the relationship between patients and family doctors.
Over time, the supports provided by A GP for Me will:
- make it easier for doctors to provide and coordinate care for their patients efficiently – so they will be able to accept more patients into their practices; and
- enable physicians to develop plans at a community level to improve local primary care capacity, including a mechanism for finding doctors locally for patients who are looking for one.
