For Alberta doctors, the health of you and your family is our number one priority. Alberta is known around the world for timely access to quality, affordable healthcare. Due to recent decisions made by the Government of Alberta, that reputation could be at risk.
In an unprecedented move, the Government of Alberta has torn up its contract with doctors – putting the care and treatment of hundreds of thousands of individuals at risk. In doing so, the government has removed a charter right to arbitration that all other essential service providers in Alberta enjoy. This is a direct threat to the public health care system and the quality of patient care.
AMA agreements allow physicians and government to work together to build a better health care system. Physicians want to be partners and contribute their expertise to decision making. We will continue to fight to protect Alberta’s patients, but we need your help. It’s time to take a stand – tell the UCP government to get back to the bargaining table and negotiate an agreement that ensures Albertans receive the quality healthcare that they deserve. If disputes need to be resolved, then use third-party arbitration to keep discussions from breaking down.
What does this mean?
The Government of Alberta NEVER intended to negotiate.
No more Alberta Advantage when it comes to attracting physicians.
Alberta’s doctors need a contract
