Because your voice matters.

Share What Matters to You

What Matters to You? Day is a new campaign with the simple goal of encouraging meaningful conversations between patients, caregivers, and families, and their health care providers.

The campaign started in Norway in 2014, and has grown into a global initiative, with over 500 teams in 14 countries participating in 2016. This year, for the first time, “What Matters to You?” Day (#WMTY17) is happening in BC.

As discussed at Oversight & Advisory Committee meeting on April 25, we want to promote our Committee`s support, so we’re asking for messages from committee members to put together a blog post to share with the Network, highlighting the importance of the campaign and how it supports PVN’s work.

Would you like to participate? If so, please just answer the question below, and don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Thank you!

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.
