A better way of using pharmacists is to let them see patients and write prescriptions for some of the more common ailments. That’s happening under a pilot project just announced. And Dr. George Burden says there’s a better idea than letting doctors retire, firing all their patients if they can’t find someone to take over their practice. He’s suggesting a stipend or salary as a way of enticing the 200 or so family doctors at or near retirement age to stay on. He says they could reduce their weekly patient load, giving them more of a work-life balance. And he says they can help younger doctors ease in to the role of taking on more patients needing primary care. Dr. Burden says it could help keep up to 250-thousand Nova Scotians from being orphaned and forced to find a new practitioner.
