Family doctors provide exceptional patient care despite rising complexity of care and heavy administrative burden, as underscored in this report. Every effort must be made by governments to support family doctors who are the foundation of Canadian health care. Les médecins de famille fournissent des soins exceptionnels aux patients malgré la complexité croissante des soins et la lourdeur de la charge administrative, comme le souligne ce rapport. Les gouvernements doivent tout mettre en œuvre pour soutenir les médecins de famille, qui sont au coeur du système de santé canadien.
NEW: We’ve updated our data on health care professionals in Canada. Get the latest 2023 data on the supply and distribution of the health workforce in your province or territory. Did you know? • Most pharmacists and physiotherapists worked primarily in community settings, accounting for nearly three-quarters of their workforces — the highest proportions among the professionals studied. • The number of family physicians working in direct care settings increased by 20% from 2014 (29,341) to 2022 (35,244). • Almost 1 in 3 nurse practitioners primarily worked in community settings, a 3-percentage-point increase over the past 10 years. Learn more and dive into the data: https://ow.ly/zOmL50Uqawi ___________ Les travailleurs de la santé sont à la base des systèmes de santé. Sans eux, nous n’avons plus de système. Notre dernier rapport explore l’effectif des médecins, les caractéristiques démographiques, les dépenses et l’utilisation. Voici quelques-unes des données : • En 2023, l’âge moyen des médecins était de 49,3 ans, soit 51,7 ans chez les hommes et 46,4 ans chez les femmes. • Le paiement clinique brut moyen par médecin a augmenté de 3,5 % en 2022-2023 pour atteindre 369 000 $. Il variait de 302 000 $ en Nouvelle-Écosse à 410 000 $ en Alberta. • Bien que l’effectif des médecins ait augmenté de 1,4 % par rapport à 2022, la hausse n’est attribuable qu’aux spécialistes (2,9 %). Chez les médecins de famille, une légère baisse a été observée (-0,1 %). Explorez les données : https://ow.ly/4nwk50Uqaze

A new report from Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) shows that number of family physicians in Canada declined for the first time since the mid 90s due to rapid population growth and an increase in elderly and patients with complex illnesses. Family physicians need urgent support to ensure we can recruit new family doctors and retain the physicians that are currently practicing. https://lnkd.in/ez52-tKC
