WELCOME TO THE SOUTH ISLAND DIVISION OF FAMILY PRACTICE
The South Island Division of Family Practice (SIDFP) represents Family Physicians from the Saanich Peninsula communities of Central Saanich, Sidney and North Saanich, and the West Shore communities of Colwood, Langford, Metchosin, and Sooke. We are a membership based non-for-profit society.
Divisions of Family Practice is an initiative of the General Practice Services Committee (GPSC), a collaboration between Doctors of BC and the Ministry of Health. 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 goal of the SIDFP is to provide ongoing professional support for Family Physicians, and the best health care possible for residents of the South Island region.
Together, South Island Division members are working to improve patient access to local primary care, increase local physicians' influence on health care delivery and policy, and create a community for family physicians. A collaborative and innovative approach to health care will strengthen family practice and patient care in South Island communities.
