Physicians are amongst the most trusted groups in society. By strengthening our voice, and improving how we work together, we can use our tremendous knowledge and experience to add value, not just to Patient Care, but to the entire system that delivers that care. We know we already do this, but working together, we can make an even larger impact.
By ensuring our impact is seen and valued by Patients and the Government we stand to receive fair compensation and stop the further erosion of our roles. This includes combatting the fragmentation, inefficiencies and increased burden on physicians that is occurring when government increases the scope of practice of other professions with no plan for health professionals to work together effectively and when they consistently remove supports. Our Patients deserve the best.
I will work to improve the value that we receive from our organization and from the Healthcare System so that we can deliver the care we are capable of and that our patients deserve.
