What does it take to care for a person after a Traumatic Brain Injury? The essential role of primary care. Oct. 5, 2023
This interactive webinar, presented in collaboration with Dr. Mark Bayley, will explore how you can get the most out of the living updates to the Canadian Clinical Practice Guideline for the Rehabilitation of Adults with Moderate to Severe TBI.
Complex chronic conditions, such as brain injury, require long-term coordinated care that involves primary care teams. Primary care is foundational to an individual’s recovery, and it is crucial for primary care teams to be equipped with up-to-date best-practice recommendations, resources, and clinical tools to appropriately care for individuals who have sustained a brain injury.

Research project to understand the role of team-based care in enabling family physicians to care for larger panels
“The KB Division of Family Practice (British Columbia) is conducting a research project to understand the role of team-based care in enabling family physicians to care for larger panels.
We are seeking individuals to contribute to our research – those who work in, or study, efficient team environments. Honorarium available. Please contact Lindsay Lister, Researcher at llister@kbdivision.ca.
We believe identifying these leading practices is critical in addressing the growing gap between the supply of family doctors and service demand in our communities, and across North America. More details on our research project can be found at the following link.”
