The BC Patient Safety & Quality Council is thrilled to share PVN’s 2020/21 Annual Report and celebrate the hard work of the network’s patient and health care partners through a very challenging year.

Last year we welcomed 139 new patient partners, which brought our total membership to more than 1,250, and supported 215 new engagement opportunities.

The report shares how we navigated and persevered through the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, and features seven stories about partnerships which demonstrate some of the details, actions and impacts of meaningful patient engagement:

We hope you enjoy the report, and we thank all of our patient and health care partners for their continued support and contributions!

The question I like to ask health care employees is ‘Who is this for?’ and ‘Do we have the right people at the table?’ As a health care employee, I see how easy it is to fall into doing for, rather than doing with patients. The voices of the patient, family and caregiver are essential to ensure the patient is central to the direction and focus of the work being done.
