Patient Advisory Councils

Patient Advisory Councils are groups that include current or former patients, family members, and healthcare staff who work together to improve healthcare services. They provide feedback, share experiences, and suggest changes to make care safer, clearer, and more responsive to patients’ needs. These councils help healthcare providers understand what patients value, identify areas for improvement, and develop better policies and practices. Their goal is to make healthcare more patient-centered, ensuring that patient voices influence decisions and enhance overall quality of care.
