Health Quality BC is inviting a patient partner to join the Quality Forum 2024 & 2025 Steering Committees and contribute to planning one of the largest health quality conferences in Canada! Each year, the Quality Forum attracts more than 1,200 participants working across the continuum of care from communities throughout BC.

Quality Forum 2024 is taking place April 23-25, 2024 in Vancouver. Monthly Zoom meetings will be held between July 2023 and May 2024, with one in-person meeting in Vancouver in September 2023. Quality Forum 2025 timelines are expected to be similar but are not yet confirmed.

HQBC will provide complimentary registration to attend Quality Forum events, as well as coordinate travel and accommodation for Steering Committee members.

PVN has really helped us engage with patient partners to improve health services at Northern Health.  It is more and more becoming the norm to include patients in the design, delivery and evaluation of health services.  PVN education and supports, involving patient partners, have enabled us to develop the capacity to include the patient voice to make care better and achieve better health outcomes.
