Webinar

Canadian healthcare organizations are taking patient and family engagement to new heights and the best of the best want to share the secrets of their success with you!

Join the finalists for the 2016 Patient Champion Awards to learn how they achieved safer care by partnering with patients. Please enter your questions or learning objectives in the registration form so YOU can leave the session with at least one practical idea to advance patient safety.

In this session, you’ll learn how to organize your data in clear, visual formats that help your audience understand what you are trying to say, and ensure that your take-home messages are received. Presenters Danielle Simpson & Jennie Aitken will show you how to use the principles of effective data presentation to communicate difficult concepts, and translate data into decisions from the unit to provincial levels. No prior experience with data analysis is required to benefit from this session!

No matter where you are in the caregiving journey, this webinar has information designed to assist you. It will outline specific topics that cover the caregiving journey from beginning to end, some of which may help you identify areas you need to explore in more detail. From practical considerations around the possible need for financial and legal arrangements to informing oneself about medications, support services and housing options, Maureen Grant will provide tips about how to get organized and outline the benefits of setting goals. In addition, she will touch on the important topics of life balance, grief and loss and self care.

Learn about our new person-centred campaign to improve care and build relationships between health care providers and patients, which is gearing up to launch later in February.
If you’re interested in improving the health care system, or learning about active listening and patient empowerment, then you won’t want to miss this presentation. Invite your colleagues and build capacity in BC health care to create!

This inaugural BC SUPPORT Unit webinar will provide an introduction to both patient-oriented research (what is it and what are the implications for the research I undertake?) and to the Unit (what is it, who’s involved and what can it do for me?).

In this Coach Caregiver session, Wendy Johnstone will explore loss and grief as a family caregiver with guests Dr. Tom Attig and Christy Linder.

Learn how patients and the public can make meaningful contributions as partners in health research and how the BC SUPPORT Unit is striving to get patient engagement right.

Patient and health care partner collaboration results in improved patient safety, better health outcomes, reduced health care costs, and better care experiences for patients and care providers. But how do you ensure that the patient is an equal partner in this work? Join us to learn from people involved with the Patient Voices Network, who will share the patient and health care partner perspectives.
