Our 2021/22 Annual Report is Here!

The BC Patient Safety & Quality Council is thrilled and excited to share the Patient Voices Network’s work through the 2021-2022 Annual Report!

• Putting People at the Centre of Website Design
  Interior Health

  Fraser Health
   
• Skunkworks: Hacking Pain
  Providence Health Care
