Webinar Recording:
"What's at the Heart of What Matters to You?"

On Tuesday the Change Ambassadors Network BC presented a webinar to discuss “What matters to you?”, a message at the heart of a new campaign that the PVN team is proud to support!

During the presentation, Sonya Chandler talked about how, as a Registered Nurse and quality & experience consultant, she is finding ways to have “what matters to you?” conversations in the work she does within the quality portfolio.

We also helped share details of a new patient-centred campaign to improve care and build relationships between health care providers and patients, which is gearing up to launch next week.

If you missed the webinar, you can watch a recording.

Article of Interest: "How to Read and Understand a Scientific Paper: A Guide for Non-Scientists"

Scientific journals feature some of the most up-to-date information about health but their structure and scientific terms are often hard to read and comprehend for those of us without a scientific background. In order to try and help “laypeople,” Jennifer Raff, an assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Kansas, decided to create a guide for non-scientists on how to read and understand a scientific paper.

In her guide published on The Impact Blog, Jennifer lists all the steps someone with a non-scientific background can follow to read and understand a scientific research paper. So useful!
