Compassion is essential to quality health care and is a vital component of effective partnerships between patients, families and health care providers.

What do you think compassion looks like, sounds like and feels like? Do you think compassion is an essential ingredient to patient- and family-centred care?

Join this webinar to hear personal stories and experiences of compassion from a panel of patients, families and Alberta Health Services providers. Hear their definitions and descriptions of why compassion matters and how they have practiced and benefited from compassion.

By participating in the webinar, you will:

  • Hear real-life examples of the impact of compassionate care from patients, families and front line providers
  • Learn practical techniques and approaches to intentionally bring compassion to everyday interactions

When: Friday, November 10, 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. Pacific Time

It has been so rewarding to go from an idea to working with such a great group of dedicated people from so many different organizations towards a very fun and rewarding project. Several extremely engaged PVN members expressed interest in being part of piloting a patient virtual care peer support system. I am confident that this is the beginning of many more exciting collaborations!
