Event Description

Join us on October 19 for the kick off to Season 4 of Team Up! where we will hear about the work that is happening around patient perspectives on the communication of team-based care. Members from UBC Innovation Support Unit, along with patient partners will share their experiences and highlight some key learnings from their current learning cycle, with the goal to inform patient communications around primary care transformation and team-based care.

Learning Objectives

1.  Share learnings and insights from the learning cycle that examined the patient perspective around the communication of team-based care to the public. Patients share their experiences and recommendations.

2.  Reflect on the importance of patient communication, in the context of change and system transformation. 

3.  Discuss how this can be applied to practice in communicating team-based care to patients at both the clinic and system level.

Presenters

Layton Engwer has been involved in the evolution of PCNs and UPCCs since 2018.  He has brought the voice of patients to provincial, to regional, and to local tables.  He is also the chair of the provincial Primary Care Patient Group. Layton brings his family’s experiences, as consumers care from many diverse sources together to the benefit of family members, with his life experiences having worked within the health systems across the country.

He has also dabbled in raising chickens and turkeys, living in a rural setting outside Victoria and thoroughly loves the magic that zipping up the red suit in December brings.
