Overview

Since the release of the Doctors of BC (DoBC) survey results in 2023, the Partnerships and Communication portfolio in Medical and Academic Affairs has attended physician-centred events, where the results were presented. The purpose was to openly discuss the survey results, hear feedback, understand specific challenges, and collect suggestions for improving physician engagement at Island Health.

Recommendations and feedback that emerged were grounded in the following themes:

  • Decision Making
  • Leadership Visibility
  • Communications and Transparency
  • Clinical Practice Improvements
  • Health & Safety and Culture

Under the leadership from Dr. Keith Menard, potential goals were developed for each of the themes, taking into account ideas and suggestions from the medical staff.

In order to appropriately direct resources, 50 Medical Leaders were asked to prioritize the actions listed in the Action Setting report to determine top priorities for medical staff.

This work, together with the DoBC survey results, has had a significant impact in defining the annual workplan for Medical and Academic Affairs in 2024/2025.
