South Island

Welcome to the South Island Division of Family Practice

 

The South Island Division of Family Practice (SIDFP) provides ongoing professional support for Family Physicians, and the best health care possible for residents of the South Island. Together, South Island Division members work to:

  • improve patient access to local primary care
  • increase local physicians' influence on health care delivery and policy
  • create a community for family physicians

This collaborative and innovative approach to health care strengthens family practice and patient care in South Island communities.

We represent Family Physicians in the Saanich Peninsula (Royal Oak/Cordova Bay, Prospect Lake, Central Saanich, North Saanich and Sidney) and the Western Communities (Colwood, Langford/Highland, Esquimalt/View Royal, Metchosin, Sooke and Juan de Fuca Coast.) We are a membership-based, not-for-profit society.

The purpose of the Division is to provide a unique, collaborative, and innovative approach to patient care through a tripartite relationship between the Division, the Ministry, and Island Health. All local practicing Family Physicians and Medical Residents are welcome to become Division members.

The Divisions of Family Practice acknowledge that we work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of many different Indigenous Nations throughout British Columbia.

Acknowledging that we are on the traditional territories of Indigenous communities is an expression of cultural humility and involves recognizing our duty and desire to support the provision of culturally safe care to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people in BC.
