Episode description

A doctor for every Nova Scotian. Fixing health care. Promises that will take more than just political will to become reality. This week, the Progressive Conservative Government announced more virtual care for patients who don't have a primary health provider. But will it make a difference? Doctor Leisha Hawker is the head of Doctors Nova Scotia, the association representing physicians in the province. And she says there are other obstacles standing in the way of recruiting and retaining health care workers. Dr. Hawker shares her thoughts on the changing scope of medicine and the people who practice it.
