Our Team is conducting a project to reduce the use of blood thinners to prevent blood clots in the hospital setting. Our project will track the number of patients who receive blood thinners and how many doses they received after making some changes to hospital prescribing procedures.

We are seeking a patient partner to share their experience of receiving blood thinner injections while in hospital. We will simply be conducting an interview either over the telephone or via Zoom. We would like to conduct this interview prior to June 2025. While this project will inform a Physician Quality Improvement project specific to at UHNBC in Prince George, we are seeking patient partners from anywhere across the province to share their experience of receiving blood thinner injections while in hospital.

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.
