  • BC Premier David Eby and the Provincial Healthcare Rethink

    BC Premier David Eby and the Provincial Healthcare Rethink
    Feb 13 2026
    ☎ What happens when you put BC’s biggest healthcare pain points on the table—and agree that “we’ve always done it this way” isn’t a strategy? 🗨️ In this special episode, BC Premier David Eby, joins us for a sit down candid, practical conversation about the realities of modernizing healthcare in British Columbia—starting with the unglamorous but high-impact stuff: cutting administrative duplication across health authorities, centralizing procurement and shared services, and creating clearer accountability so problems get fixed faster. 🎙️We explore what frontline clinicians want: a tighter feedback loop where ideas from pharmacists, nurses, physicians, and allied health don’t disappear into a “suggestion box” black hole and unpack the real promise—and real limits—of AI integration into day to day healthcare across BC: where it’s already helping, and what it takes to scale innovation safely with privacy protections. 🎙️BC Cancer—and the growing operational pressure of rising diagnoses, delayed access, and complex patient journeys. Premier Eby shares what’s underway and tackles a question that may be on the minds of HCPs and caregivers: do we need to revisit BC’s 10-year cancer plan to match today’s system realities and explore practical system fixes like patient navigators om the BC Cancer care pathway. 🎙️You’ll also hear a frank discussion on expanding pharmacy-delivered care, the pressures and possibilities of minor ailments and contraceptive services, and how new reimbursement models may unlock pharmacist impact beyond the walls of a community pharmacy. 🎙️This episode arguably tackles some of the toughest files facing the Ministry of Health: rare-disease drug reimbursement decisions, transparency and modernization in PharmaCare, balancing urgent access with fair pricing, and what meaningful accountability looks like when care delivery goes wrong.We also unpack regulation and oversight through the Health Professions Act: is it enough to protect the public and drive system-level learning, or do we need additional tools in the middle ground between individual college complaints and full-blown litigation? ▶️If you’re a frontline clinician, health leader, or policy-watcher who wants less theatre and more solutions—this one’s for you. 💡💡 In this episode, we look at: The role of a new provincial “shared services” model and health authority optimizationWhat a province-wide AI strategy needs before it touches routine prescribing workflowsWhere pharmacist scope is heading—and what may be missing to make it sustainableWhy rare-disease drug coverage decisions feel like a black box (and how to fix that) and PharmacareThe case for better patient navigation during their cancer care journey In collaboration with the Pharmacy Leaders of Tomorrow.
