This November marks the anniversary of the In Plain Sight report, a pivotal call to address Indigenous-specific racism in BC’s health system. In response, a provincial dialogue was held with over 100 participants, including Indigenous patients, families, caregivers, and health care leaders. Together, they developed a set of core principles to create a feedback process that is safe, accessible, and culturally meaningful for Indigenous patients and families. These principles are now featured in Sharing Concerns: Principles to Guide the Development of an Indigenous Patient Feedback Process. This resource highlights why these principles are important and how they can inspire meaningful change. Learn more and download the resource here: https://ow.ly/OcgI50Uii0M
