Job description

Nurse Practitioner – Campbell River and District PCN (300-0869)

Reference Number: 300-0869

The Campbell River PCN is currently seeking to build a pool of interested nurse practitioner candidates to work with a team of practitioners and other health providers to collectively deliver care to patients at the Primary Care Network/Clinics in the Campbell River and District area. In these clinical service contract positions, the providers will work collaboratively with an inter-disciplinary health care team to provide culturally safe primary care.

The Campbell River PCN, now in its second year of implementation, is currently funding a variety of NP positions across various clinical settings. The clinics are run by private family physicians, and these clinics span rural and urban settings, providing care to people of all ages including maternity care.

As the most responsible primary care provider, there will be a requirement for the provider to establish a minimum patient panel (see contract for details - year 3 and ongoing 800 attachment requirement). After hours care for patients may be required, and the practitioner may participate in an after-hours call group, sharing after-hours coverage with other providers at the clinic.

The roles will be made available subject to funding approval from the Ministry of Health.
