The Patient Advisors Network (PAN) is a national community of practice for patient/caregiver partners – patient and family advisors committed to improving healthcare for all Canadians. Our members have experienced health services as patients/clients/residents or as family caregivers AND are involved as advisors within healthcare — or want to be.

As independent advisors, we individually collaborate with healthcare providers, researchers, administrators and policy makers to apply the wisdom gained from our lived experience as patients and families in all aspects of healthcare.

By coming together as PAN, we draw on our collective experience as advisors to support and build our capacity to co-create better patient experiences and outcomes. As a community, we have the collective energy to help ensure that including the patient and family perspective becomes the norm.
