Equitable and inclusive patient engagement helps to avoid tokenism and the exclusion of individuals from underrepresented, under resourced and underserved communities.

Join Healthcare Excellence Canada, the National Health Engagement Network (NHEN) and Equity Mobilizing Partnerships in Community (EMPaCT) at Women’s College Hospital for a webinar series on ‘how-to-do’ equity-promoting patient engagement in the health and social system.

This three-part webinar series will address the following questions:
• What are the key principles of equity-promoting patient engagement
• How can we effectively put these principles into practice?
• What strategies can we use to mobilize the power of lived experience to improve health outcomes for all?

The question I like to ask health care employees is ‘Who is this for?’ and ‘Do we have the right people at the table?’ As a health care employee, I see how easy it is to fall into doing for, rather than doing with patients. The voices of the patient, family and caregiver are essential to ensure the patient is central to the direction and focus of the work being done.
