Please join us for the 69^th in our series “Changing the way we work” on Friday December 15, 2023. In this session, we will review the latest data on respiratory viruses, tips for approaching these in practice and related vaccines including the new pneumococcal vaccines. We will hear about upcoming changes in eligibility for breast cancer screening and the evidence behind this decision. Finally, we’ll reflect on the past year and celebrate the important role family physicians play in the system. We appreciate you submitting questions at registration to help us plan the session.
