The conference is about practice, innovation and theory that embeds the patient/client voice in health and social care education. It is an opportunity to share examples of how health and social care education can be enriched by patient involvement. Over three days, participants will present examples of collaborations between educators and patient/community groups that bring the authentic and autonomous voices and lived experiences of patients into the education of current and future health and social care professionals.

The conference will examine progress in the field since the last conference in 2015. Conference attendees will have opportunities to contribute to a set of practical ‘how to’ guides that are expected to result from the conference.

Audience
The conference is international and interprofessional in scope. Interested professions will include: dental hygiene, dentistry, dietetics, genetic counselling, kinesiology, nursing, medicine, midwifery, occupational therapy, pharmacy, physical therapy, population and public health, psychology, radiography, social work and other health and social care disciplines.

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!
