Because your voice matters.

Our 2021/22 Annual Report is Here!

Posted • Last updated

The BC Patient Safety & Quality Council is thrilled and excited to share the Patient Voices Network’s work through the 2021-2022 Annual Report!

We’re proud to have supported 383 patient partners in 154 new engagement opportunities, and welcomed 172 new patient partners to the network.  The report provides some demographic information about PVN engagements and patient partners, aggregate responses from end-of-engagement surveys, information on how the Council has supported patient engagement through PVN, and features eight stories of engagement in action across BC:

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.
