Every BC resident is invited to join PVN, as each of us has a unique experience of interacting with the health care system and can contribute that perspective to important conversations about care. When health care and patient partners collaborate, the results are improved patient safety, better health outcomes, reduced health care costs, and better decision-making. It leads to better care experiences for patients and care providers. Together, patient and health care partners know best how to improve health care.

Learn more about the work of the Patient Voices Network and how you can participate as a patient partner or an organization by visiting its website.

Our PVN Team

PVN’s patient and health care partners are supported by our Patient & Public Engagement Team, which is located throughout British Columbia. The team’s engagement leaders recruit, orient and support patients as they engage in health system transformation, as well as support health care partners to identify and coordinate volunteer opportunities.

The Network’s activities are guided by an Oversight & Advisory Committee that includes representatives from health care organizations, the Ministry of Health and the BCPSQC, as well as an equal number of patient representatives from across BC.
