Primary Care Under Pressure in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario: NPs, and the Canada Health Act

Millions of Canadians are struggling to find primary care, even though the Canada Health Act says we should all have reasonable access to medically necessary services. In this roundtable, nurse practitioner leaders from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario talk candidly about what it feels like to be “on an island and drowning,” how outdated laws and insurance rules quietly block NP care, and why professional associations are actually structural power if we want the system to change.They share real examples from clinics and communities, unpack who is really providing primary care right now, and make the case for using NPs more fully as part of the solution to Canada’s primary care crisis.#abpoli #onpoli #healthcare #healthcareprofessionals #media
