Did you know? BC’s Patient Safety Strategy: Your Care, Our Commitment outlines a five-year plan that builds on work already underway.

It focuses on three strategic aims that guide progress: awareness, connection and improvement, and is grounded in six interconnected pillars that strengthen safety across all care settings.

It also calls for partnership with Indigenous Peoples to ensure care is culturally safe, equitable and free from racism.

Together, these elements create a shared foundation to strengthen safety and reliability across BC’s health system.

Along with many others across BC and Canada, we are thinking of the community of Tumbler Ridge and extend our sincere condolences to the families, friends and colleagues navigating profound loss.

As the province observes a Day of Mourning, we recognize the weight this day carries for those affected.

In moments like this, words feel limited. What remains is care for one another, gratitude for those providing support and recognition of the strength of community in the face of tragedy.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected in Tumbler Ridge.

The Improving Health Care Together Kits include two versions designed to support Patient & Family Advisory Councils (PFACs), one for Patient Partners and one for Health Care Partners.

The Patient Partner version supports informed decision-making about joining a PFAC and provides guidance for Patient Partners already involved.

The Health Care Partner version includes practical tools, templates, and a flexible framework to support each stage of establishing or strengthening a PFAC.

We're excited to share our latest resource: A Refreshed Approach: Framework for Effective Cultural Safety and Humility (CSH) and Indigenous-Specific Anti-Racism (ISAR) Education and Training.

This Framework provides a practical blueprint for CSH and ISAR education and training to create a shared language and understanding that enables benchmarking, measurement and brings greater consistency to the many dynamic and non-linear pathways of learning across the health system.

🌎️ Join us for the next Green Acts for Big Impact Community of Practice this Friday, January 30, at 12:00 - 1:00pm, hosted virtually via Zoom. Connect with fellow rural healthcare providers with an interest in environmentally sustainable, high-quality healthcare, facilitating peer-to-peer connection and action-orientated discussion.⁠

Hosted in partnership with Health Quality BC, we meet virtually once every two months to share ideas, highlight innovations, build relationships, and problem-solve together. ⁠

In this month's meeting, we'll start with a short opening from Rebecca Manuel on the Rural Obstetrical & Maternity Sustainability Program (ROAM), then shift into an open conversation about how networks like ROAM can help us test small, doable changes, compare notes across communities, and learn together.⁠
