Webinar - How to Engage and Support Diverse Patient Partnerships During a Crisis - Part 1

Thursday July 9, 12.00pm - 1.30pm (EDT)

Patient engagement and partnership efforts often focus on those that have the capacity, willingness and ability to engage. In times of crisis, this is often exacerbated, with many organizations going to those most familiar to them. However, these patient engagement efforts do not necessarily reflect the range of patient populations that use or need healthcare in Canada – including those from ethnocultural backgrounds, who do not speak English or French, in lower socio-economic backgrounds, under-housed, or other underserved populations.

This two-part webinar will unpack a variety of considerations for engagement with diverse patient populations. We will explore the added challenges brought about by COVID-19, and specific ways we can do better, now, and after the pandemic.
