Election 2024: Working together.

Doctors Nova Scotia believes that physicians and other system partners must work together to create solutions for health-care issues. We can only do so by working together.  

Doctors will discuss four key priorities with 2024 election candidates.  


We will meet with candidates to inform them about and influence change on four key priorities:

  1. Invest in primary care infrastructure and collaborative clinic implementation 
    Our province must continue to support primary care and work to remove barriers for the successful implementation of collaborative care practices. Learn more 
  2. Retain our physician workforce
    Our province must collectively turn our efforts toward creating a supportive transition into practice. This will help maximize the investments being made to recruit doctors to Nova Scotia by ensuring physicians have a good experience here and decide to stay long term. Learn more 
  3. Prioritize physician wellness
    Our province must invest in physician wellness. Continuing to reduce unnecessary physician administrative burden is one important facet of this work. Learn more 
  4. Prioritize interoperability
    Our province must continue to work toward an integrated digital Nova Scotia health system that supports physicians and is easy to access in hospital settings and in the community. Learn more

What can you do? 

Talk with local candidates on these important health-care priorities. The candidates will want to hear directly from physicians as community leaders. Personal contact is the most effective form of communication. 

Read the health care platforms for the three main political parties before meeting with candidates: 

  • Liberal plan
  • NDP plan (not yet released)
  • PC plan (not yet released)
