About CFAN - Building Bridges Across
the Nation by Linking Pediatric Patient & Family Advisory
Groups
The Canadian Family Advisory Network (CFAN) was formed in 2002 to link family advisory groups that are involved with paediatric acute care, rehabilitation, regions and hospices across Canada. Our members have experience from across all health sectors and are a mix of family representatives and staff liaisons.
CFAN encourages and facilitates the participation of families in making excellent, family-centered healthcare for children and youth a reality throughout Canada by:
- Providing a means for the otherwise quite isolated groups
to share information and advice about recruitment, retention,
reporting relationships, family participation in patient
safety initiatives and the education of professionals and
trainees.
- Ensuring that the voices of families are heard in discussions and debates in national, provincial, and regional arenas about the health of children and youth and about the healthcare services that are (or should be) available to them and their families.
- Serving as a resource to any organization that wishes to collaborate with families in projects aimed at improving the health of children and youth.
