Aim

Northern Health would like to integrate the patient voice during Leadership Forums in the Northeast and being able to present to the leadership team will provide a valuable opportunity for the patient experience to be shared. A patient partner is requested to provide a 15-minute presentation to the forum describing their role as a PVN Patient Partner and then to bring their perspective to an afternoon of World Café round table discussions. The topics for these discussions include: health care human resources, education, work life pulse and leadership.

This opportunity is at the level of consult on the spectrum of engagement. The promise to you is that the health care partner will listen to and acknowledge your ideas and concerns, and provide feedback on how your input affected the decision.
