Patient Partner Regional Update Meeting

From Our Community

Christine Wallsworth

Patient Partner, Vancouver

Patient and family partners should not be a check box on research proposals! They need to be involved right from the start. I know patient and family partners are doing their part by providing their knowledge to researchers from their lived experience. It’s a win-win for us to work together through PVN to make sure our input drives improvements.
