Family Practitioner

An exciting opportunity to join our expanding primary care network in Sidney. The practitioner will be the most responsible primary care provider for a minimum patient panel as described in the New-to-Practice (NTP) Contract. In addition to general care, we have opportunities in maternity and palliative.

We offer a team-based approach to primary care where we work in collaboration with other network doctors to cover clinic hours and participate in community hospital care at the Saanich Peninsula Hospital. This team is part of a larger Saanich Peninsula Primary Care Network with additional resources – RN, Pharmacist, MH Clinicians, and Social Workers.

After hours care for patients attached to the practitioner is inherent in the services as well as after hours care for other patients of the clinic. On-call for the clinic is on a rotation and is for one week at a time. During that week you would be responsible for the after hours call line for Shoreline Medical, Sidney call line. Currently Shoreline aligns its on-call rotation with the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Doctor of the Day rotation. This occurs approximately every one in eight week, and is revolving.

Overhead negotiated with clinic; NTP contract includes $75, overhead to be paid to physician to pay to clinic, physician to pay any remainder.

Patient home, Doctor of the Day, Fast Track Program and Long Term Care visits are outside of this contract.

Management of the clinic is provided by the Shoreline Medical Society, a non-profit organization that partners with interdisciplinary health care providers and the community to deliver: patient-centred care, hospital/community continuity of care, education and a healthy life-work balance for our team.
