Doctors of BC is seeking one Providence Health Authority physician member for the Regional Physician Health and Safety Working Group.
A Memorandum of Agreement on Physical/Psychological Safety (2022 PHS Agreement) was negotiated as part of the 2022 Physician Master Agreement. The 2022 PHS Agreement outlines expanded support for the physical and psychological health and safety for physicians. This includes a working group in each health authority to engage on matters of importance regarding regional physician health and safety.
It was recognized that structures and processes for physicians regarding physical and psychological safety vary considerably across the province. In some cases, these processes do not exist at all. The 2022 PHS Agreement seeks to establish or rebuild many of these processes so that physicians are better supported and protected in their work environment.
