Categories: Patient Voice Mail

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.

PVN has really helped us engage with patient partners to improve health services at Northern Health.  It is more and more becoming the norm to include patients in the design, delivery and evaluation of health services.  PVN education and supports, involving patient partners, have enabled us to develop the capacity to include the patient voice to make care better and achieve better health outcomes.
