Primary Care Readiness for a Pandemic Influenza

Public health can play an important consultative/coordination role in supporting the development of “best practices” in the provision of primary care during a pandemic public health emergency. For this initiative, CPHA worked in partnership with the College of Family Physicians of Canada to develop two fact sheets to assist family physicians in the event of an influenza pandemic: Preparing for pandemic influenza: What family physicians should know and How to maintain your family practice during pandemic influenza. These fact sheets were evidence-informed through research, key informant interviews, surveys and a roundtable.
