BC Heart Failure Patient Advisors Needed ASAP!

Uncategorized

Do you live in British Columbia? Are you passionate about patient care and have 3 hours/month to volunteer? If you can help, we need to hear from you by end of Sunday, February 11th, 2018!

We are looking for patient advisors to support UBC’s TEC4Home research study. The video below provides an overview of the research and the attached 2-page document outlines all the details, including how to apply for this opportunity.

We hope together we can help support their research to improve how heart failure patients can self-manage their condition.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
