The Annual BC Provincial Forum for Trauma Services convenes leaders from across British Columbia dedicated to the care and management of patients with severe traumatic injuries. Attendees represent various sectors such as Injury Prevention, BC Ambulance Service, and clinical professionals from major trauma centers.

Scheduled for June 4th in Vancouver, this gathering aims to prioritize collaborative efforts in enhancing trauma patient care throughout BC.

PVN has really helped us engage with patient partners to improve health services at Northern Health.  It is more and more becoming the norm to include patients in the design, delivery and evaluation of health services.  PVN education and supports, involving patient partners, have enabled us to develop the capacity to include the patient voice to make care better and achieve better health outcomes.
