The Island Health Office of Experience is building a new Patient and Public Partnership program. We are looking for a group of patient partners to provide rapid feedback on a variety of topics and resources over the next 6-8 weeks as we develop the preliminary elements of this new program.

You will receive questions, documents or short surveys via email requesting your input and feedback. These requests will have short timelines but there is no obligation to respond to every request. This is a very informal way to receive quick input on small details as we move ahead with building the program. We will share the outcome of each inquiry with those that participated.

Ideally, we would have 6-10 patient partners who would be willing to participate.

Level of Engagement

This opportunity is at the level of Involve on the IAP2 Spectrum of Public Participation.

Eligibility

  • Have access to technology and the internet to participate in the engagement opportunity
Patient Partners ARE NOT required to be PVN members to participate in this engagement opportunity.

The bottom line is because we’re caring for patients. People who know best are those who are receiving the care so it makes logical sense that we would consult with them about their experiences. By connecting with PVN we have been able to educate our teams about the value of patient partners and how important their perspective is in our services.
