Background

Over the past few months, we have heard great interest in opportunities to expand the learning and education opportunities within PVN. Your desire to be a part of increasing learning opportunities has led us to develop a focus area called "PVN Learning". This focus area will seek guidance from health care and patient partners to
  • Align topics with the current state of patient engagement
  • Source presenters and resources
  • Identify the best approaches to use
  • Share stories of patient engagement impacts
  • Create learning outcomes and measurement of interest
A combination of working groups, individual interviews, focus groups and other engagement activities will help develop these areas of practice. 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 your views on the impact of your involvement in improving health care in BC. We hope that this will help inform everyone about how your contributions are changing health care for the better in BC. The BC Patient Safety & Quality Council, which administers PVN, aims to keep the patient perspective at the heart of its work. The Council is working with patient and health care partners to participate in projects it is leading to drive high-quality care in BC.

I have learned so much about innovation and capacity building by being part of PVN. I signed up to build my leadership skills, however, I experience benefits for myself, my community and Indigenous peoples throughout the province. I understand more about the complexities and opportunities required to improve health care.
