Patient and Family Advisory (PFAC) Committee Member
Description
Navicare/SoinsNavi is a patient navigation centre for children and youth with health care needs and their families in New Brunswick. A key component of the centre is our patient and family advisory council (PFAC), which consists of 7 volunteer members who advise the patient navigator and research team, as well as collaborates on special projects that arise from discussions with key stakeholders. Examples of projects led by the PFAC include a Journey Map, which is a visual aid developed to assist families with navigating the system from the moment of diagnosis; peer support videos that share stories about navigating the system; and a workshop for care providers and other caregivers of children with health care needs. PFAC members are often invited to participate in other related workshops, public outreach events, and conferences.
NaviCare/SoinsNavi is looking for a dynamic individual to join the PFAC. The position is a one (1) year renewable term beginning January 4, 2020. We are seeking someone with significant lived experience receiving services within the healthcare system as a youth with health needs, or as a parent, guardian, or other involved family member. The PFAC meets monthly in a virtual setting along with an in-person annual meeting in the spring.
If you are interested in becoming part of the PFAC, or know someone who would be a good fit, please reach out to cric@unb.ca. We look forward to hearing from you.
