Patient Partner Resources

There is a wealth of information to support your involvement in PVN. In the Resource Section, you can find resources to help with:

• On-boarding: what it means to be a patient partner and how PVN works.
• Preparation: how to get involved and be successful in engagement opportunities.
• The RSVP process: support for your recruitment and placement into engagement opportunities.
• Skill-building: learn about health care improvement and patient engagement.

All resources are created with input from patient and/or health care partners.

We encourage you to take a look at the Health Quality BC website. “What Matters to You” and other resources are there to support improving the quality of health care in BC.
