Because your voice matters.

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.

Telling people about PVN

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!
