VPSA Engagement Working Group

The Engagement Working Group, including physicians from VGH, UBC Hospital and GF Strong, was established to plan activities that increase physician involvement in the workplace.  Current planning is focused on creating opportunities for improved collaboration among colleagues and connections across disciplines and sites to create a more fulfilling and productive work culture for all.  This includes strengthening relationships with VCH leaders and increasing opportunities for physicians to participate in health authority planning and decision-making activities.
