About Care2Talk Health

Care2Talk Health (care2talk.io) is a Nurse Practitioner-led primary care organization combining virtual and in-person care. Members access care through subscription plans ranging from virtual-only to hybrid in-person access.

We operate clinics in Victoria, Qualicum Beach/Parksville and Edmonton. Our Salt Spring Island clinic extends that model to a community where timely, continuous primary care is hard to find. The LPN is a core member of the island care team.

Role overview The LPN provides hands-on nursing care, supports NP visits, and keeps patient care moving between appointments. The role practises independently within LPN scope and collaborates with NPs on care beyond it.

In a small island clinic, the LPN is often the first clinical contact for patients. Strong judgment, clear communication and comfort working with a lean on-site team are essential.

Key responsibilities

All activities are performed within the LPN scope of practice and the standards, limits and conditions set by the BC College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM).

- Prepare patients and rooms for NP visits and assist with in-clinic procedures

Chronic disease and preventive care

- Support patients living with chronic conditions through monitoring, follow-up and self-management education
- Track preventive and screening care (immunizations, cancer screening reminders) and close care gaps
