  • Dartmouth, Highlights Key Themes in Your Area and Across the Province, and Outlines What DNS Is Doing to Help
    Doctors Nova Scotia’s Community Listening Tour Physicians in Nova Scotia are under pressure. Faced with large patient rosters and limited resources, they are worried about their patients, their practices and their personal lives. That’s why this spring, members of Doctors Nova Scotia’s (DNS) senior leadership team embarked on a province-wide listening tour. They attended 29 meetings with a total of 235 physicians in 24 communities – learning about the challenges of practising medicine in Nova Scotia from people who are experiencing them first-hand. Doctors Nova Scotia held 11 meetings in your zone. This report summarizes the discussion DNS staff members had with physicians in Dartmouth, highlights key themes in your area and across the province, and outlines what DNS is doing to help. Community Report: Dartmouth Meetings in Zone 4 – Central Location Date # of physicians Cobequid Community Health Centre May 18 16 Twin Oaks Memorial Hospital June 7 3 Musquodoboit Valley Memorial Hospital June 7 2 Eastern Shore Memorial Hospital June 7 3 QEII – Veteran’s Memorial Building June 13 4 Dartmouth – NSCC Waterfront Campus June 14 8 Spryfield Medical Centre June 14 7 St. Margaret’s Community Centre June 21 13 Dalhousie – Collaborative Health Education Building June 21 4 IWK June 22 2 Gladstone Family Practice Associates Sept 10 15 Individual correspondence Aug-Sep 5 TOTALS 11 meetings 82 physicians Issues in Dartmouth The association held one session in Dartmouth at the NSCC Waterfront Campus, but attendance was low. This is in part attributable to physicians leading very busy lives, but it may also be a reflection of the lack of connection and community among physicians in Halifax or a lack of confidence in DNS’s ability to influence change.
