B.C. physicians and surgeons want your input on virtual care

Physicians and surgeons in B.C. are looking for your input on the move to virtual care that has been forced on the heath care system during the COVID-19 pandemic.

College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. have launched an online survey in an effort to guide changes to standards of care.

They are in the process of changing virtual care standard procedures for doctors and surgeons already, the survey will offer patients a chance to have a say before any changes become official.

"Whether or not you have received virtual medical care, we would like to hear from you," the College said on the survey webpage.

You can add your two cents until April 8.

You can find the survey on the B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons website here.
