Background & Purpose

Have you received oral medication at BC Cancer and seen a medical oncologist? Are you interested in providing feedback on a survey that will be sent to patients to understand their experience of care?

The Medication Assessment by Pharmacy (MAP) Program is a shared care model between medical oncologists and pharmacists at BC Cancer Surrey that started in 2019. In this model, medical oncologists can select suitable stable patients for a pharmacist medication assessment appointment in lieu of a physician appointment at alternating clinic visits. The MAP program is undertaking a quality improvement project to understand staff and patient satisfaction with the program.

As a patient or family partner on this project, you will help provide feedback on the patient survey questions and implementation strategy.
