Patients for Patient Safety Canada

We are the voice of the patient and bring our healthcare experiences to help improve patient safety at all levels in the health system.

Our unique and valuable perspective complements those of care providers, health leaders, policy makers, and managers of healthcare organizations and by working in partnership we help patient safety decisions and initiatives be truly patient-centred and result in safe care.

The volunteer members of Patients for Patient Safety Canada (PFPSC) have contributed their unique experiences and perspective to patient safety efforts since 2006. While many members have personal stories of heartache, loss, grief and frustration due to unsafe care, they are able to look beyond personal events, draw from their experience, and partner with the people who work in the healthcare system in a shared mission of Every Patient Safe.
