FPSC has announced that the After Hours Care program pilot, initially set to end March 19, 2024, is transitioning to an ongoing program and expanding to a new region, providing certainty to participating family physicians, nurse practitioners, and their patients.
On January 22, 2024, the Shuswap North Okanagan Division of Family Practice joined the After Hours Care program to help test the expansion process and address the current access to after-hours care challenges in Vernon. Conversations are underway between Doctors of BC and the BC Ministry of Health about plans to expand the program further throughout the province.
