Categories: My Experience, News & Events

We’re thrilled to say that this year, for the very first time, the BC Patient Safety & Quality Council (BCPSQC) will be broadcasting Health Talks, the Quality Awards ceremony, and the Quality Forum’s plenary sessions on Facebook Live during Quality Forum 2017! The events will be available to those who can’t attend in person, as part of the Council’s commitment to being Patients Included.

There will be four broadcasts streaming from the BCPSQC’s Facebook page:

Health Talks & Quality Awards Ceremony
Wednesday, March 1 from
1900 – 2045

Year after year, Health Talks is one of participants’ favorite events at Quality Forum! It starts with a ceremony to recognize the eight winners of the BC Patient Safety & Quality Council’s annual Quality Awards, which celebrate improvements in quality of care.

The ceremony is followed by eight awesome speakers telling us about their hopes for health care. They use the PechaKucha 20×20 format, where presentations contain 20 photos, each of which is displayed for exactly 20 seconds before automatically advancing to the next one. This style encourages a rare combination of brevity, creativity, and energy!

All you have to do to is visit the page at the time of the events to watch them live!

Make sure you follow PVN and the BCPSQC on Facebook so you don’t miss any reminders and updates! And if those times don’t work for you, you can still watch the presentations at a later date; they’ll be archived the Council’s Facebook Page, and they will also be posted to the BCPSQC’s Youtube channel after the Forum.

Seeking the patient perspective doesn’t have to be complicated; it simply entails a commitment to ask and listen. Patient advisors not only bring a valuable perspective but also share original ideas and unique skills. Including the patient and family perspective changes the conversation and aligns the team’s focus towards common goals.
