Join the PVN Focus Group to Shape the Future of Patient Engagement! The Patient Voices Network (PVN) is a community of patients, families, and caregivers working with health care partners to improve BC’s health care system. In 2024, we gathered feedback on what’s working and what could be improved. The results are available in the Pulse Check Survey.

Now, we want to hear from PVN patient partners to help move forward with the survey’s recommendations.

Virtual Focus Group Details:
Date: April 24, 2024
Time: 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM (90 minutes)
Platform: MS Teams
Participants: 6–8 PVN patient partners (selected to ensure diverse representation)

Discussion Topics:
🔹 What matters most to patient partners in the Pulse Check Survey results?
🔹 What do patient partners value in their PVN experience?
🔹 What cost-neutral capacity-building activities should PVN prioritize?

A facilitator will lead the session, and participants will receive a follow-up summary from HQBC’s Patient and Public Engagement team. Additional engagement opportunities may follow.

Interested in joining? RSVP now to help shape PVN’s future!

Please see the Pulse Check Survey results for more information.
