OHPR Community Fund

The Office of Healthcare Professionals Recruitment (OHPR) collaborates with health system partners and communities to support the planning, attraction, and retention of healthcare providers across the province. This includes the (OHPR) Community Fund.

OHPR is pleased to announce the completion of the engagement phase for the Office of Healthcare Professionals Recruitment (OHPR) Community Fund project.

This engagement process was designed to assess how the Community Fund is supporting local efforts to attract and retain qualified healthcare professionals across Nova Scotia. It also aimed to gather insights into the factors that support or hinder healthcare recruitment and retention, and to better understand how to engage and collaborate effectively with communities and organizations involved in this work.

Input was gathered from a wide range of impacted groups, including:

  • Healthcare Professionals
  • Members of the Nova Scotia Health Physician Recruitment Team
  • Representatives from Community Organizations Serving Diverse Populations
  • Members of the Community Fund Evaluation Committee
  • Local Community Navigators
  • Government Employees

Engagement activities included focus groups, interviews, and surveys conducted through the Engage4Health platform.

You can now read the "What We Heard" summary report, which shares the key themes and insights from everyone who took part here.

We sincerely thank all participants for their time, expertise, and valuable contributions.
