Patients for Patient Safety Canada (PFPSC) is a patient-led program funded by the Canadian Patient Safety Institute. We champion the patient’s voice to advance safe healthcare.
When a patient safety incident occurs, patients and their families often see things that busy healthcare providers do not. By contributing the patient voice, experience, and perspective, we ensure that patient safety initiatives are truly patient-centred.
We are patients and families with safety-related experiences who volunteer to bring our perspectives to a forum in order to:
- Provide a collective, credible voice that reflects the diverse perspectives of patients across Canada
- Advocate for the inclusion of the patients’ perspective in healthcare agendas
- Collaborate with patients, healthcare providers, health organizations, and other agencies to speed up efforts to improve patient safety
