What is the BC Patient Safety & Quality Council?

Using evidence-informed strategies, the Council advances person- and family-centred care, shifts culture and improves clinical practice to support high-quality care for every person in our province. The Council receives its mandate from the Minister of Health, and patient and public engagement is one of its five key roles and responsibilities.

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.
