Patient Engagement Focus Groups
We are excited to announce the launch of our Patient Engagement Focus Groups, where we will engage in meaningful discussions centred on specific topics based on patient needs and service improvements.
Why Focus Groups?
We believe that targeted focus groups will allow us to hold more effective and focused conversations, tailored to the specific experiences of our patients. By concentrating on relevant issues, we can enhance our services and address your needs more directly.
What Our Patients Say?
It’s really nice to be able to talk to you guys and hopefully make it better for the next people that walk through the door, and that’s always a cool thing.
How Does this Work?
Patients will be invited to participate in focus groups relevant to specific topics or services.
We may consult with patients who have recently undergone certain treatments to gather valuable feedback on their experiences.
Share Your Ideas! We want to hear from you! If you have any suggestions of topics that you would like us to discuss in our patient focus groups, please complete the below form.
