Patient & Family Engagement
Patient and family engagement is key to achieving a kidney health system that is responsive to the needs of patients and families.
We want to:
- Put patients and families at the centre of the kidney health system
- Include their voices to identify new opportunities for improvement
- Support partnerships between patients, families and health professionals
- Focus effort on what matters most to patients and families
Strategic plan
Patient and family voices are incorporated into all core BC Renal committees and working groups, and the BC Renal Patient & Family Engagement Framework serves as a strategic plan and guide for these activities.
Partnership Matters videos
BC Renal has produced a set of videos to illustrate how health professionals and patient partners can work together to make a difference in kidney health and care across BC. See the Partnership Matters playlist.
How health professionals with in the BC Renal network can help
- Share provincial and regional patient and family engagement opportunities with your renal programs
- Refer patients, their family caregivers/care partners and kidney donors who might be interested in getting involved to sign up at www.bcrenal.ca/getinvolved
- Offer suggestions for enhancing inclusivity and improving patient and family engagement across the BC Renal network
