Participant, Contributing Patient Perspectives on the Impact of Patient Engagement

Our patient engagement environment has shifted due to the ripple effect of COVID-19 and we have heard in a recent PVN survey that your passion for patient engagement continues with a desire to focus and contribute. The survey results indicated a high interest in learning about stories of patient engagement impact. PVN is excited to work with you in bringing these stories to life! PVN will soon be inviting patient partners to participate in a working group to explore how we can best harness and share stories of impact in a sustainable and meaningful way. Currently, PVN has a bank of impact stories shared by health care partners who have closed the loop on their engagements. We would like to enhance this story bank with patient perspectives on the impact of patient engagement. As a precursor to the upcoming working group, PVN would like to hear from you. Have you been involved in an opportunity through PVN that had some really interesting outcomes? Work with us as we collect stories which demonstrate the powerful impact of patient engagement.

Open to: Patient partners within BC
