Quality Forum 2020 Livestream – Plenary Presentation: Sickboy Podcast

  • This event has passed.

February 27, 2020 @ 2:30 pm - 3:10 pm

Can’t make it to Quality Forum 2020? You can still get a piece of the action – we’re broadcasting Health Talks, the Quality Awards ceremony, plenary presentations and several breakout sessions live as they happen. It’s easy to tune in – sessions will be streaming on the BCPSQC website!

Join us as we close out the Forum with this plenary presentation from the hosts of Sickboy Podcast.

The three creators who make up Sickboy – Jeremie Saunders, Taylor MacGillivary and Brian Stever – are hilarious, ridiculously insightful and determined to break down the stigmas associated with illness and disease. Sickboy began because they recognized that when faced with difficult situations, illnesses and diseases, people tighten up, get awkward, and simply don’t know what to say. Taking the lead from Jeremie’s life long battle with cystic fibrosis, they help people understand that sometimes the best way to deal with illness, disease and life is simply to laugh. Through the therapy of laughter, we can begin to understand that whether sick or healthy, we’re all human, and we’re all dying, so let’s talk about it.

Sickboy started in a public library recording room, moved into the hosts’ own recording studio, was funded by a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign and within weeks was among the top rated podcasts in the country!
