‎Background & Purpose

BC Cancer has partnered with the Emily Carr University Health Design Lab to investigate awareness of, and access to, our Supportive Care Services (such as counselling and dietitians). The first phase of this project involves collecting information through a survey. We need volunteers to go into the regional cancer centres and ask patients and families to complete the survey. This work will happen January 13-24, 2025. There are two shifts per day available: 10am-noon and 1-3pm.

Partners will approach patients and families in the waiting area and introduce the survey. They will ask people to complete the survey on their personal smart phone or tablet. Partners may need to help participants scan the survey QR code and show them how to fill out the survey on their smart phone. If a patient or family member does not have a smart phone, we will have a paper version of the survey.
