What is a Youth Patient and Family Advisory Council?
The Youth Patient and Family Advisory Council is a dynamic platform where passionate young individuals come together to influence and shape the future of healthcare for our generation. We believe in the power of youth voices and their ability to drive positive change in Sidra Medicine's practices. Our vision is to enhance patient and family-centered care by looking at the healthcare experience through the eyes of our young patients.
Who are Youth Patient Advisors?
Youth Patient Advisors are volunteers who serve as the voice for all young individuals and their families receiving care at Sidra Medicine. Collaborating with our hospital's doctors, nurses, and administrators, they play a vital role in enhancing the quality of healthcare services for our young patients and their families.
We are committed to supporting our Youth Patient Advisors by actively listening to their thoughts and ideas. We strive to keep them informed about the impact of their feedback and how their suggestions make positive changes and improvements at Sidra Medicine. Together, we work towards creating a healthcare experience that truly reflects the needs and perspectives of our youth community.
Expectations
- The Council meetings occur every other month or monthly, depending on the availability and school calendar.
- The group works on projects, hears guest speakers, and discusses patient feedback.
- Members share their own healthcare experiences so that we can teach others what it is like and use this knowledge to improve care.
Your involvement will show adults and other young people what a positive and important contribution we can all make to Sidra and the healthcare system.
