About Inlet
About Inlet
- We are a well-respected practice within our community, and have excellent relationships with nursing, obstetrics, pediatrics, anesthesia, and other health disciplines integral to maternity care. Our team includes RMs, RNs, LCs, a FP-LC and peds/neo.
- Our practice culture is inclusive, supportive and flexible, with plenty of time and space for work-life balance, family commitments, and continuing professional development.
- Our care is trauma-informed, client-centred and evidence-based. In addition to ‘low-risk’ maternity care, we do some shared care with OB for more complex clients. We have excellent relationships with our local OB colleagues & work closely with them often.
- We work inside what used to be known as an Alternative Practice Arrangement, meaning we had BCCNM exemptions re: choice of birthplace, continuity of care, and size of team.
- We provide fulsome postpartum care that includes both home visits and in-clinic LC support.
- We do hard call–that means when you're not working, you are off so that you can get on with the rest of your life! We do not ever expect folks to be available on a day off.
- Effective communication, thorough documentation, and keen attention to detail are high priorities for us.
- We are open to new practitioners: respectful, transparent and cost-free mentorship is available.
- We have excellent office support via our Office Manager and MOAs, and a bulletproof paging service.
- Our team culture is our strongest asset - we have each other’s backs, we are humble, curious, kind, and always willing to learn from each other.
- We have a strong commitment to DEI. Caregivers who are BIPOC and/or LGBTQTS+ will be given priority.
