The Families as Partners in Care (FPC) club is a UBC Medicine initiative that advocates for family-centred care and caregiving education within the medical system. We are seeking patient and family carers to share their knowledge with our social media community.

We post twice a week on our instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/ubc_fpc/) to engage and support our community. Here’s how you can get involved:

🗓 Mondays: Caregiver Memories
Share your experiences and encounters with the healthcare system.
Anonymity is an option!
🔦 Thursdays: Resource Spotlights
Share any valuable resources for caregivers of any condition.
We want to hear from you!

Send us an email at info.ubc.fpc@gmail.com, and we’ll feature your submissions!
You can submit at any time as we post on a rolling basis.

We post all submissions on a rolling basis, twice a week. There is no maximum on a number of submissions you can send in. Given that this process is dependent on the number of submissions we receive, we are unable to quantify an exact time when you can expect to see your submission shared; however, you are welcome to check in with us at the time you submit and we will give you are best estimate.

It’s really hard to make changes in health care. When a PVN patient partner says, ‘This is important to us’ it keeps us grounded on why a change is needed and keeps us motivated to keep going on projects.
