The Learning Lab is at the heart of the KB Primary Care Network’s culture of interdisciplinary learning, and is the primary vehicle for ongoing optimization within our PCN. The Learning Lab promotes innovation and problem solving through openness, curiosity, relationship, and a willingness to experiment and take risks.
Based on feedback gathered at the conclusion of the previous series, our approach for 2026/27 is shifting toward fewer, more intentional gatherings focused on deepening collaborative care across the region. The value of in-person connection stood out as a priority for building trust and relationships and strengthening inter-team dynamics.
Instead of monthly Learning Labs, this year we will host four targeted sessions, two of which will be in person. PCN clinic leads will be invited to the in-person gatherings to help strengthen relationships and coordinated care beyond the PCN team.
PCN staff, clinic leads and Steering Committee members, please save the dates:
October 15, 2026 | 12:30–4:00 pm | Castlegar (in person) - PCN Team and Clinic Leads
December 3, 2026 | 10:30 am–12:00 pm | Virtual - PCN Team
February 4, 2027 | 10:30 am–12:00 pm | Virtual - PCN Team
April 9, 2027 | 9:00 am–4:00 pm | Castlegar (in person) - PCN Team and Clinic Leads
Discussion topics will build on previous years' conversations, with longer sessions allowing for deeper exploration. While specific agendas are still in development, key topics identified for discussion with the broader team include equitable access, timely access, team functioning and culturally safe care.
