FREE Educational Videos for Caregivers

On National Caregiver Day (April 4th), Woodgreen and ETHP launched free educational videos to help unpaid caregivers navigate Ontario’s complex healthcare system to get the help and support they need for their care recipients and themselves.
These educational videos can be found here (All videos are currently in English but will be translated to other languages in the near future).

Virtual Care Guidance for Primary Care

Ontario Health has released new virtual care guidance materials to support primary care clinicians in making decisions related to the planning and delivery of virtual care (via different modalities, including phone, video and email/messaging)
Especially helpful are the customizable patient-facing materials to assist patients in understanding the benefits and limitations of different modalities when seeking care (available in English, French, Arabic, Bengali, Chinese Simplified and Traditional, Greek, Gujarati, Pashto, Persian, Slovak, Spanish, Tagalog and Urdu)
Please take a moment to review the guidance documents and complete this survey from OH, and please contact us at contact@eastfpn.org if you have questions or additional feedback
