The new normal. As clinicians, it is important to have new plans for how we're going to enjoy our lives, enjoy each other, and continue to care for our patients the best way we can. Our patients count on us to be their trusted caregivers.
Santina Wheat MD, MPH, FAAFP and Marian R. Sassetti, MD, FAAFP discuss the importance of our interactions with patients to show we are thinking about their health and disease prevention. This includes mainstreaming COVID-19 vaccinations and maintaining protections to keep patients healthy.
Rather than isolating COVID-19, they share ways they are integrating these conversations as part of the normal discussions about immunizations and preventative health.
They remind us that as trusted caregivers, if we don't bring something up, it doesn't seem important. So, the more we bring it up, the more important it becomes.
Topics include:
- Integrating COVID vaccines into day-to-day medicine going forward since so many of our patients have moved on and resumed "normal life"
- Reminding patients that COVID remains a threat, if not to them, to other people they care about
- Discussing all vaccinations – especially with parents since there are so many childhood immunizations
- The importance of promoting and talking about the vaccine and boosters Normalizing wearing masks for more than just COVID
Objectives:
- Identify ways of discussing and adjusting to the “new normal” with patients
- Review the importance of knowing where vaccines are available
- Discuss how primary care clinicians can continue to improve vaccine confidence and uptake, even if they don’t provide the COVID-19 vaccines in their clinic

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
