Hilary Salter – Practice Management Consultant

Hilary Salter started Primary Care Advisory Services to further her work in the area of primary care renewal in Ontario.

Prior to establishing Primary Care Advisory, Hilary worked for Cirrus Consulting Group as a Senior Practice Management Consultant and was responsible for developing and implementing a ‘Transition to Family Health Organization (FHO)’ program for family physicians in Ontario. Our Transition to FHO program is tailored to the needs of each client and facilitates physicians through their decision-making process and provides the education required by both physicians and their staff to implement the necessary operational changes.

Hilary’s knowledge of primary care renewal comes from her role a Senior Program Consultant with Primary Health Care and Family Health Teams with the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. She was the prime contact for family physicians that expressed interest in the various payment models available through the Primary Care Renewal program.

Hilary has worked with physician groups in Toronto, the GTA and York Region as well as bilingual physician groups in Ottawa and northern Ontario.  She has worked with hundreds of physicians assisting in their evaluation and implementation of primary care payment models.  This experience gives her a unique capacity in her role facilitating the transition of physicians into primary care funding models in such a way that there is little disruption to their practice.

Hilary comes to primary care with a proven track record in planning, project management, conflict resolution and consulting the in the non-profit sector over the last 20 years. This has provided her the opportunity to develop a broad range of skills; results oriented project management, effective and strategic communication skills and the inter-personal skills required to build co-operative working relationships among diverse groups.
