Central Okanagan PCN – Family Practitioners / Nurse Practitioners Awareness Questions

Introduction
We want to know about your awareness and experience of the Primary Care Network (PCN) and it's services for patients in your community.

This survey should take approximately 10-20 minutes to complete. Your answers will help inform improvements in the management of the PCN locally.

Upon completion, eligible participants will be directed to a secure external site to enter your information for sessional payment processing. Eligible participants will be compensated for up to 30 minutes by sessional payment.

Why are we asking?
The Central Okanagan Division of Family Practice is surveying Family Practitioners (FPs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs) to better understand your experience of the PCN and its services. Your feedback will help establish a baseline, identify opportunities for improvement, and inform the development and evaluation of future initiatives.
