Effective communication between chiropractors and physicians is crucial for providing comprehensive care to patients. With that in mind, during Canadian Patient Safety Week, we are excited to announce the launch of our Physician Engagement Toolkit, designed to empower chiropractors to build stronger relationships with physicians in their communities.

Following a series of Chiropractic Conversations with physicians, allied health professionals, and Albertans across the province, we identified a clear need for more standardized, supportive tools to help chiropractors engage meaningfully with physicians. The result is our new toolkit, which equips chiropractors with resources like:

• Physician info sheet: Provides key information about chiropractic care to share with physicians
• Introduction template: A helpful guide for initiating conversations with physicians
• Patient-facing brochure: Highlights the value of chiropractic care and encourages patient discussions with their physicians

Our goal is to create a collaborative space where chiropractors and physicians can share knowledge and work together to provide better care for patients. By building these connections, we help ensure that chiropractic is an integral part of the healthcare conversation in Alberta.

To enhance collaboration with physicians, we aim to empower our members with the skills and tools needed to initiate and navigate these important relationships. Whether you're new to physician engagement or looking to refine your approach, this toolkit is designed to make those conversations easier and more effective.

Are you ready to connect with physicians and enhance patient safety and your practice? Access the toolkit today and start fostering interprofessional collaboration that benefits both practitioners and patients!
