An Oversight and Advisory (O&A) Committee helps guide our work to support meaningful partnerships between patients and health care teams, with the focus of improving health care services in BC.

Each month in Patient Voice Mail, we will be highlighting important takeaways from these discussions for you and invite you to read more about their work on our website.

We hope that you will find this information useful and encourage you to reach out if you have any questions or suggestions.

I was thrilled to discover the Patient Voices Network, where the array of places to be the voice of a patient is vast and incredibly interesting. Besides my ongoing “gig” with the BC Emergency Medicine Network, I have enjoyed being involved in several one-off initiatives. I love working with professionals who genuinely value the perspectives of their patient partners.

The BC Patient Safety & Quality Council administers the Patient Voices Network. Using evidence-informed strategies, the Council shifts culture, improves clinical practice and advances person- and family-centred care to support high-quality care for every person in our province.
