Judge, 2026 BC Quality Awards, Health Quality BC

The BC Quality Awards help Health Quality BC (HQBC) recognize and celebrate people and projects that have improved quality of care in BC. We would like to invite three patient partners to join our judging panel and decide the 2026 winners and runners-up!

The role of the patient partners will be to read and score nominations from a selection of categories.

After scoring nominations, patient partners will join the full judging panel, made up of leaders in health care quality, HQBC Council Members, clinicians and students for a virtual meeting to decide the winners and runners up of the 2026 BC Quality Awards.
