We're excited to announce our Patient Engagement Learning Series, starting this February! This series will provide an easy, one-stop shop where you can develop skills to enhance authentic patient engagement. We've chosen a variety of topics that address the current needs facing the PVN membership and are open to suggestions for future sessions!

In these one-hour webinars, you'll learn about topics such as: 

• Building authentic patient engagement;
• Primary Care Networks: what they are and how they work; and
• Effective communication to build great partnerships.

All of our patient and health care partners are welcome to attend! These webinars offer a chance to discuss these topics from different viewpoints and learn from others' experiences. If you can't make it to a webinar, you'll be able to watch our recording online afterward.

BC Cancer is looking for patient and family partners who have experience with cancer care. Through this network, patient and family partners can participate in consultations and focus groups on topics related to cancer care, be part of committees and working groups to design and review services, and help create patient education materials. 

Get involved.

Here's a great professional development opportunity for our health care partners! Clinician Quality Academy is an eight-month program which features content and learning modules that have been tailored specifically to support physicians and other clinicians. This includes leading quality and safety initiatives and an emphasis on case studies and peer learning.  

This is a chance to collaborate on a quality improvement project, work with an improvement advisor, and meet other clinicians with similar goals. New this year, the program is accepting clinician/administration leadership dyads. 

Registration is open until March 15!
