The Vancouver Statement is published!

The Vancouver Statement sets out priorities for the involvement of patients in the education of health and social care professionals.

It was developed by an international and multidisciplinary group of leaders in the field at the international conference on 'Where's the Patient's Voice in Health Professional Education?' in 2015.

The full article is in the current issue of the International Journal of Health Governance.
