If a new colleague joined your practice tomorrow, what’s one patient safety habit you’d want them to pick up from you?
This Canadian Patient Safety Week, bring yours to The Rounds. Connect with physicians across Canada, compare approaches, and learn how your peers involve patients in making care safer.
What would you share first?

“I just don’t feel like myself.” It’s an opening that can take a consultation in many directions. What has changed? How is it affecting her day? What has she been hesitant to bring up?
For physicians, making room for that conversation means listening beyond the first concern, without deciding too quickly what explains it.
This #WorldMenopauseMonth, what helps you open a conversation about menopause with your patients?
Join The Rounds to share your approach and hear how fellow physicians are navigating these discussions in practice.

Sometimes, the hardest question you hear all day comes after work: “How was your day?”
You think about a difficult conversation. A decision you’re still replaying. A patient you’re worried about. Then you say, “Busy,” because you’re not sure where to begin.
This World Mental Health Day, we’re thinking about the person behind the physician, the one who needs time to process, someone to listen, and support that fits the realities of the job.
You deserve care, too.
Connect with fellow physicians on The Rounds. Sometimes, it helps to speak with someone who understands the parts of your day that are hardest to explain.

“But I can see just fine.”
You’ve heard it from the patient who nearly cancelled. The one who hasn’t had an eye exam in years. The one who thinks a visit can wait until something feels wrong.
As an optometrist, you know how much there is to look for beyond that reassurance and how much care goes into explaining why it matters.
This World Sight Day, what do you say to help patients understand the value of an eye exam before they notice a change?
Share your approach below, and join the optometry community on The Rounds to continue the conversation with peers across Canada.

A clear view of the retina can reveal changes that deserve attention, but the image is only the beginning of the conversation. Helping patients understand what was seen, why it matters and what comes next can turn uncertainty into a sense of direction.
For eye care physicians, Healthy Aging Month is a reminder that preserving vision also means making space for questions, concerns and the realities that shape each patient’s care.

📈 Evidence can tell us how well a vaccine works. But data alone does not always build patient confidence.
As influenza season approaches, primary care conversations may begin with familiar questions: How effective is it? Do I really need it? Is it right for me?
The evidence matters. But what happens next may depend on how the conversation unfolds.
A new primary care discussion is taking shape.

A patient may walk into a routine visit expecting a brief conversation and leave carrying questions about risk, testing, next steps and the future.
In that moment, clinical clarity matters. So does the space to voice uncertainty, understand the options and share what matters most.
For urologists and oncologists, Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is a reminder that reassurance does not always mean having every answer. Sometimes, it begins by helping a patient feel heard, informed and less alone in the decisions ahead.
Some questions stay with physicians, too. On The Rounds, urologists and oncologists can discuss cases with peers, explore evolving topics and learn from the experiences shaping the field today.
Because better conversations with patients often begin with a place for clinicians to continue their own.

Changes in vision may be difficult to describe, easy to dismiss or simply accepted as part of daily life.
Behind those changes can be a growing impact on independence, confidence and connection with the world.

On The Rounds, physicians can bring questions about retinal disease to their peers, exchange clinical perspectives and learn from shared experience.

#Atopiceczema is visible on the skin, but much of its burden may remain unseen.
Disrupted sleep, emotional strain and the constant effort of managing symptoms can shape a patient’s daily life. Looking beyond what is visible can help bring the full experience into the conversation.

On The Rounds, physicians can ask questions, exchange perspectives with peers, and continue the conversation about the realities patients may not always voice.

Pain does not always follow a predictable pattern, and its full impact may not be captured by a single number.
A patient’s story can reveal changes in sleep, movement, concentration, relationships and daily life. Taking time to hear those details can offer valuable context for understanding their experience.
This #PainAwarenessMonth is a reminder: sometimes, the finding is in the story.
On The Rounds, physicians can bring questions to their peers, exchange perspectives and continue the conversation around complex patient experiences.

A joint is rarely the whole story.
For many people living with arthritis, the impact extends into energy, daily function, work, relationships and emotional well-being. These experiences may not always be visible, but they deserve space in the consultation.
This #ArthritisAwarenessMonth, continue asking beyond pain: How is fatigue affecting your day? What has become harder to do?
Sometimes, a broader conversation is the beginning of more complete care.
🗞️ The discussion is now open.
What makes atopic dermatitis affecting the head, neck and hands particularly challenging to manage? And how are other clinicians approaching these high-burden sites in practice?
