Welcome to Shared Care

Collaborating to improve the patient experience and health of British Columbians

Since 2006, the Shared Care Committee has helped more than 2,500 family physicians and 240 specialist physicians to work together on over 240 projects across BC.

The mandate of this collaborative committee is to provide funding and project support to family physicians and specialist physicians to improve the flow of patient care from primary to specialist services.

Formed in 2006 as part of the Physician Master Agreement between the Ministry of Health and Doctors of BC, we work closely with the General Practice Services Committee and the Specialist Services Committee, but we have our own distinct mandate and projects. Details of Shared Care projects can be found under 'Initiatives' on this site.
