Because your voice matters.

Engagement Opportunities

Engagement opportunities are hosted by health care partners who are seeking patient voices in their work. Each one is unique; local opportunities will let you improve care in your community, while provincial opportunities might affect patients across British Columbia. Examples of topics and challenges they address include improving access to health data, reducing surgical wait times and joining local projects aimed at improving patients’ care experiences.

Where those of us in the room may have debated policy or wording, patient voices made sure patients were top of mind. And as a result, significant improvements were made to simplify something that was otherwise complex. Patient voices at the table bring us back to reality in terms of what we are trying to achieve.
