Interior Health is looking to grow our pool of very interested partners (VIPs) that we can reach out to/engage when short-term or one-time engagements come up such as projects, document reviews, focus groups, poster reviews, policy reviews and many other requests.

We are anticipating that these potential engagements will vary greatly. For example, we might email partners in our interested partners group to provide feedback on a form in acute care, input on a poster, or feedback on a new AI policy. The engagements encompass a wide variety of topics pertaining to health care in IH. There is no minimum or maximum engagement – partners can pick their favourites!

We are building a diverse group of engaged public members that will help to provide their perspectives and help to drive change across IH in a multitude of ways. Potential active casual partners are required to be comfortable receiving updates and requests via email, familiar with technology to some degree, and flexible in their expectations as we expect that sometimes there won’t be many opportunities and sometimes there will be many to choose from!

We will support all partners throughout their engagement.

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.
