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.

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

Eligibility

Patient and family partners should not be a check box on research proposals! They need to be involved right from the start. I know patient and family partners are doing their part by providing their knowledge to researchers from their lived experience.  It’s a win-win for us to work together through PVN to make sure our input drives improvements.
