Strengthen your culturally safe care through our comprehensive programming. Access learning modules, register for sessions, explore resources, and connect with partners committed to advancing cultural safety in family medicine.
Building Cultural Safety Together
Indigenous peoples have the right to access a health system that is free from discrimination in their own lands and territories, as well as to feel safe and cared for when receiving health services. They deserve to be treated with respect and have their health concerns taken seriously.
BCCFP acknowledges the harm and pain caused to Indigenous people and their communities as a result of systemic racism and discrimination within our healthcare system. We believe that family physicians have a role to play in reconciling past and present injustices.
In November 2019, we signed the BC First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) Declaration of Commitment to Cultural Safety and Humility The signing signals a shared intention to advance cultural safety and humility among family physicians involved in the delivery of health services to Indigenous Populations in BC.
Cultural Safety Grants
BCCFP created a Cultural Safety Grants Program aimed at supporting family physicians to continue or initiate new culturally safe practices, and the program forms part of our ongoing Declaration of Commitment to Reconciliation and addressing anti-Indigenous racism and inequity in health care.
