The session opened with remarks from Adam Reid, who welcomed participants, introduced guest speaker Cindy Knapman, and acknowledged the contributions of the organizing committee. Presenters highlighted that Newfoundland and Labrador has one of the highest proportions of gender‑diverse individuals in Canada, underscoring the importance of accessible, inclusive primary care. The discussion emphasized that while gender‑affirming care is a core component of family practice, it often involves referrals to specialized providers and requires thoughtful coordination across the healthcare system. Speakers addressed the impact of historical mistrust in medical institutions on care‑seeking behaviors among gender‑diverse individuals and stressed the importance of building trust through respectful, informed, and patient‑centred care. Key themes included the need for comprehensive understanding of patients’ medical, psychological, and social histories to support informed consent, as well as patient education regarding available resources and realistic expectations throughout medical transition. The webinar also outlined clinical pathways for gender‑affirming care, including hormone therapy and transition‑related surgeries, and highlighted the role of healthcare providers in addressing challenges, identifying supports, and creating inclusive practice environments to improve patient experiences and outcomes. The session concluded with an overview of the upcoming toolkit, which will provide detailed guidance on processes, documentation, and region‑specific resources to support Family Care Teams in delivering gender‑affirming care.`` https://player.vimeo.com/video/1190090206 2026-05-06T00:00:00-02:30 yes https://familycareteamsnl.ca/resources/fct-webinar-apr-02-2026 https://familycareteamsnl.ca/assets/img/video-thumbs/thumb-fct-webinar-apr-02-2026.jpg Integrating Generative Artificial Intelligence in Collaborative Family Care Team Practice The meeting explored how generative AI can be integrated into collaborative Family Care Team practice to improve clinician efficiency and strengthen patient care, while also addressing the practical requirements for safe and effective adoption. The session brought together panellists with diverse expertise across healthcare and technology, underscoring that successful implementation depends on responsible use and clear clinical oversight rather than replacing the clinician’s role in patient interactions. Speakers emphasized that generative AI’s value lies in supporting day‑to‑day workflow - particularly by helping manage information and reducing documentation burden - thereby creating more time for meaningful patient engagement. Participants noted that uptake of AI tools is accelerating across the healthcare community and that evolving clinical roles will require new skills, shared learning, and stronger interprofessional collaboration. A key focus was the need to adapt training environments to build AI literacy, cultivate healthy skepticism, and strengthen trainees’ ability to critically appraise AI outputs. The discussion also highlighted essential enablers and barriers, including the importance of teamwork and coordinated implementation, alongside significant privacy considerations and shared accountability when deploying AI in clinical settings. Overall, the meeting reinforced that integrating generative AI into family care is not only a technology change, but a collaborative practice change - requiring intentional training, clear governance, and ongoing dialogue to ensure benefits are realized without compromising trust, safety, or confidentiality. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1179592412?badge=0&autopause=0&player_id=0&app_id=58479&autoplay=1 2026-04-01T00:00:00-02:30 yes https://familycareteamsnl.ca/resources/fct-webinar-februrary-04-2026 https://familycareteamsnl.ca/assets/img/video-thumbs/thumb-fct-webinar-copd-feb4-2026.jpg Family Care Teams: Disagreement and Conflict in Interprofessional Teams This 1‑hour webinar for Family Care Teams focused on strengthening interprofessional collaboration by improving conflict management skills and fostering psychological safety in healthcare settings. The session opened with a welcome to participants of the 16th webinar in the Interprofessional Collaborative Practice series in Newfoundland and Labrador. Presenters emphasized that conflict is a natural part of teamwork, often arising from professional differences, role ambiguity, power dynamics, and varying values. The webinar highlighted the importance of building team capacity to recognize, address, and effectively manage conflicts to enhance trust and the overall quality of patient care. Key learning objectives included understanding different types and sources of conflict, developing strategies to support psychological safety, and improving team function through effective communication. Speakers noted that while strong communication is essential, successful conflict resolution requires ongoing collaboration, shared understanding, and well‑structured team meetings. Barriers such as limited time, avoidance of difficult conversations, and lack of awareness were discussed, along with evidence-based approaches—including clear protocols, leadership support, and open dialogue—to strengthen team cohesion. Psychological safety was identified as a cornerstone of high-performing teams, enabling members to comfortably discuss mistakes, ask questions, and contribute to problem‑solving. Webinars in this series continue to support Family Care Teams with practical tools to enhance collaborative practice. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1164018239?badge=0&autopause=0&player_id=0&app_id=58479&autoplay=1 2026-02-04T00:00:00-03:30 yes https://familycareteamsnl.ca/resources/fct-webinar-december-03-2025 https://familycareteamsnl.ca/assets/img/video-thumbs/thumb-fct-webinar-copd.jpg Family Care Teams: Chronic Disease Management in Family Care Teams Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD) This 1-hour webinar for Family Care Teams focused on improving chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) diagnosis and management through the Comprehensive Respiratory Care Program. The session began by acknowledging the traditional territories of Indigenous groups where Memorial University is located and emphasized the importance of accurate COPD diagnosis and evidence-based management strategies. Speakers highlighted significant challenges in Newfoundland and Labrador, including limited respirologist availability and long wait times for consultations. The program’s goal is to enhance patient education and access to care by linking acute care and community services for respiratory patients over a full year. Respiratory therapists provide home visits and virtual assessments, ensuring patients receive individualized action plans for managing exacerbations and health directives. Enrollment in the program has led to notable reductions in emergency visits and hospital admissions. Education on inhaler techniques remains critical, as more than half of patients demonstrate errors. Comprehensive respiratory care also includes collaboration with family care teams to streamline patient management. Webinars are recorded and available on the Family Care Teams resource hub website. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1143515065?badge=0&autopause=0&player_id=0&app_id=58479&autoplay=1 2025-12-03T00:00:00-03:30 yes https://familycareteamsnl.ca/resources/fct-webinar-november05-2025 https://familycareteamsnl.ca/assets/img/video-thumbs/thumb-fct-webinar-20251105.jpg Family Care Teams: Indigenous Health and Family Care Teams This 1-hour webinar for Family Care Teams explored the vital role of Indigenous Patient Navigators (IPNs) in enhancing culturally safe, trauma-informed care within interprofessional health teams. It highlighted how IPNs support Indigenous patients and families by bridging cultural, linguistic, and logistical gaps and by offering emotional and historical context rooted in colonial trauma. Guest speakers shared personal and professional insights into the importance of storytelling, language-appropriate resources, and creating welcoming spaces. The session addressed challenges in extending IPN services to both travelling patients and those in urban areas, such as St. John’s, and emphasized the integration of Indigenous knowledge into care and education. https://player.vimeo.com/video/1135345026?badge=0&autopause=0&player_id=0&app_id=58479&autoplay=1 2025-11-05T00:00:00-03:30 yes https://familycareteamsnl.ca/resources/fct-webinar-october08-2025 https://familycareteamsnl.ca/assets/img/video-thumbs/thumb-fct-webinar-20251008.jpg Collaborative Practice Resources- Annual Update This 1-hour webinar for Family Care Teams highlights recent updates to the Family Care Teams Resource Hub, a dynamic online platform supporting collaborative practice and professional development.
