South Island/Victoria Partners in Care Project Evaluation
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Initiated in December 2011, the Partners in Care (PiC) project was a collaborative partnership between the South Island and Victoria Divisions of Family Practice funded by the Shared Care Committee.
Goals
The project aimed to provide physicians with a supportive environment to come together to improve working relationships and communication processes. The core objectives were to:
• Create an environment that encourages and supports the rebuilding of relationships between Family Physicians (FPs) and Specialist Physicians (SPs).
• Facilitate opportunities for FPs and SPs to collaborate on developing practical and sustainable solutions to improve patient care, as well as enhancing their own professional satisfaction.
