Glenrose Patient & Family Advisory Council
Glenrose Patient & Family Advisory Council is a diverse group of patient and family members who have lived experience navigating the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital.
Why Join the Council?
Our patient and family advisors will generously volunteer their time to enhance the quality, safety, and effectiveness of health services from the patient, family, and caregiver perspective. They play an important role in supporting the strategic direction of the Glenrose by engaging patients, families and caregivers in a respectful, transparent and accountable manner. Working in partnership with the Glenrose, Council considers existing and emerging topics related to Glenrose programs and services and provides recommendations for consideration.
Being part of the Glenrose Patient and Family Advisory Council is a great way to consult on:
- Patient, family or staff educational materials creation,
- New projects involving changes to policies, procedures, programs or services,
- Capital projects or facility redesign,
- Patient experience survey design.
Who Can Join?
Members are individuals who have lived experience at the Glenrose, who are passionate about improving care, and they:
- Engage in co-design and advise Glenrose teams on what we hear and experience,
- Identify existing and emerging issues,
- Advise on service delivery, policy and program design, and
- Provide advice to Glenrose teams on ways to improve quality, access and sustainability of those receiving care at the Glenrose.
When Does the Council Meet?
The council holds monthly meetings from September to November and January to June, providing a venue for Glenrose teams to engage directly with advisors and ensure the voices of patients, families and caregivers resonate throughout health policies, projects, and programs across the continuum of care.
