About Inlet

• We are a well-respected practice within our community, and have excellent relationships with nursing, obstetrics, pediatrics, anesthesia, and other health disciplines integral to maternity care. Our team includes RMs, RNs, LCs, a FP-LC and peds/neo.
• Our practice culture is inclusive, supportive and flexible, with plenty of time and space for work-life balance, family commitments, and continuing professional development.
• Our care is trauma-informed, client-centred and evidence-based. In addition to 'low-risk' maternity care, we do some shared care with OB for more complex clients. We have excellent relationships with our local OB colleagues & work closely with them often.
• We work inside what used to be known as an Alternative Practice Arrangement, meaning we had BCCNM exemptions re: choice of birthplace, continuity of care, and size of team.
• We provide fulsome postpartum care that includes both home visits and in-clinic LC support.
• We do hard call-that means when you're not working, you areoffso that you can get on with the rest of your life! We do not ever expect folks to be available on a day off.
• Effective communication, thorough documentation, and keen attention to detail are high priorities for us.
• We are open to new practitioners: respectful, transparent and cost-free mentorship is available.
• We have excellent office support via our Office Manager and MOAs, and a bulletproof paging service.
• Our team culture is our strongest asset- we have each other's backs, we are humble, curious, kind, and always willing to learn from each other.
• We have a strong commitment to DEI. Caregivers who are BIPOC and/or LGBTQTS+ will be given priority.
