Primary Care in a Pandemic looks at the changes in primary care in British Columbia during the COVID-19 pandemic. We talk about ways primary care clinics adapted during the crisis. Each episode tackles a different topic from how to stay connected as a team to how to approach advanced care planning with patients. We try to keep things real and practical so you can apply these ideas in your practices.
Produced by the University of British Columbia's Primary Care Innovation Support Unit in the Department of Family Practice.

S2 E12: Final Episode and TeamUP
This is our wrap up episode - or rather our TeamUP episode. We have decided, in the spirit of resilience, sustainability, and doing good work, to merge our two podcasts over at TeamUP - the content was going to be so similar this season that it made sense to take this opportunity
This season of TeamUP focus on practical tools in primary care to support the adaptive capacity of the system.
Please check out TeamUP at www.teamuppod.com and subscribe or follow in your favourite podcast app.
Perhaps it is better to TeamUP than to just pod-fade away...
Thanks for listening,

S2 E11: immPACC: Helping communities reduce structural barriers to immunizations
In this episode we talk with our own Amanda Frazer about our own immPACC Mapping Project (immunization-Primary And Community Care Mapping). We get into the weeds a bit quickly because, well, we are very excited about how this tool is able to help communities engage in and accelerate local ideas to improve immunization uptake.

S2 E9 - Flourishing in a Pandemic
How better to follow up our last episode (focused on languishing in the time of COVID) than to shift the focus to flourishing. In this episode Morgan and Sarah talk about the concept of flourishing. After a brief overview of flourishing measures, we focus on the activities provided on the flourishing.app website and how they may help support providers and patients .

S2 E8 - Coping in Month 15 - Languishing
After a quick chat about current COVID state of affairs (and Star Wars day), we talk about "languishing" - a new term but one that we think fits really well and that we will hear more often. Then we dive into a few ideas we have on how we can help ourselves and our patients address feelings of languishing. Hopefully these are useful for you as well.

S2 E7 - Keep on Keeping on (UPDATED MAY 12th)
EPISODE UPDATE ALERT: SCIENCE CHANGE
In this episode from April, we talked about encouraging people to keep on with the public health orders and the concerns and risks of the AstraZeneca vaccine and how to compare that to lightning strikes.
Since we published this, our understanding of the clot risks has changed, with the risk of clot increasing to around 1:100,000. When we recorded this episode the science suggested the risk was 1:250,000. We wanted to update that this material and the comparisons to things like risk of lightning strikes is now out of date.
