Recruitment- VCH 10-Year Cancer Plan Executive Steering Committee

Do You Want to be Involved in the Development and Implementation of the VCH 10-Year Cancer Plan?

We are inviting patients, family members, or caregivers with lived experience in cancer to inform the patient journey and decision-making at the executive steering committee level, including determining what is working well and what needs improvement.

What are we doing?

The purpose of the Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) 10-Year Cancer Plan Executive Steering Committee is to provide guidance, decisions and approvals in the development and implementation of the 10-Year Cancer Plan at VCH.

In 2023, BC released its 10-Year Cancer Action Plan outlining the following focus areas:

  1. Prevent cancer and find cancer earlier
  2. Ensure timely access to cancer treatments
  3. Optimize care through collaboration and partnership
  4. Revitalize the provincial cancer care system through essential system enablers

This initiative is a VCH-wide regional collective overseeing change initiatives across Vancouver, Coastal, and Richmond. The Cancer Plan spans the continuum of cancer care, including diagnosis/prevention, cancer treatment/research, palliative care/survivorship, and end of life. Committee members will have a chance to weigh-in on senior-level decisions that will have lasting implications over a long-term time horizon.

How you can get involved?

We are looking for patient advisors with lived experience with cancer, and resides within VCH boundaries, including Vancouver, Richmond, and Coastal Communities of Care. The Executive Steering Committee will meet bi-monthly (every 2 months) for one hour virtual or in-person meetings (whichever works best for patient advisor). Please complete the 'Expression of Interest' below.

What is the deadline for this engagement opportunity?

If you are interested in this engagement opportunity please apply by November 8, 2024. The next committee meeting will be in early December 2024.
