About
Who we are —
The BC-PAN continues to grow as a forum for collaboration, where regulators and community members work together to build stronger, more inclusive health-care systems. Public advisors are selected to reflect the BC’s diverse population, representing a wide range of backgrounds, abilities, and identities. They participate in ad-hoc engagements, which are conducted virtually through surveys and focus groups.
Currently, 18 public advisors and six regulatory colleges are part of the network.
Our Purpose —
The public advisors are asked to provide their feedback on a variety of topics to help guide professional standards and policies, strategic priorities, and communications directed at the public.
Governance —
College partners choose a chair each year to oversee the administration work of the BC-PAN. Each college partner has equal access to the BC-PAN for college-specific consultations. College partners bring forward relevant topics and collaborate with the facilitator to craft an agenda. The public advisors can also be consulted for their input on the agenda.
Any BC health regulator can join as a college partner by agreeing to the Terms of Reference and providing a financial contribution of any amount.
