@PharmacistMama Also, when I’m prescribing meds for “minor ailments” and the patient has multiple allergies and/or are medically complex, guess who I call for advice? You better bet it’s the clinical pharmacist at my FHT or my patient’s community pharmacist.
@PharmacistMama As a NP, we are often told the same. It’s a shame, because my experiences with pharmacists has been overwhelmingly positive. I am often amazed by the breadth and depth of knowledge of pharmacists. They have taught me more clinical pearls than any other health care professionals.
Outcomes of primary care delivery by nurse practitioners: Utilization, cost, and quality of care https://t.co/bsES90w3ia #primarycare#npslead#nursepractitioner
Great interview on CBC about our health care challenges. Lots of NPs are unemployed and underemployed. We need to fund primary care NP jobs. As someone who has worked in a CHC, FHT and NPLC, team-based primary care is exceptional care @NPAOntario
A delayed response to a health care system that is in crisis continues to fuel the fire! It is time to invest in nurse practitioners to improve access to primary care! It is time to increase public health measures!

@DrGorfinkel Recently spoke to an extremely pleasant and helpful physician support manager at Dynacare. If you are worried, ask for it STAT and they will process it quicker
@kkirkup Ugh. I feel this. I’m a mom, a nurse practitioner and my youngest has had croup three times in the last three months. I’ve been to the ER due to my own child struggling to breathe, and as a former ER nurse, I would do anything to not go to the ER
