Strategic Planning

BC Renal began a comprehensive planning process in 2022 to gather input from across the network and identify priorities for our 2023-2028 strategic plan.

The first step was to reach out broadly across the province in September with an online survey of all committee and working group members, patient partners and BC Renal employees, as well as a number of representatives of partner organizations.

This was followed up in October with a more focused group of 100 kidney health professionals, administrators and patient partners who were nominated by their peers to gather in person for an information-gathering and sharing Strategic Planning Day. Input from both engagements is being analyzed and carried forward for additional meetings in early 2023 with BC Renal employees, partners and kidney care leaders to help inform and finalize priorities for the next five years. The new set of 20232028 priorities will also align with PHSA and Ministry of Health strategic directions, and will be communicated broadly once finalized.

One of our key goals in the development of the 2023-2028 strategic plan was to ensure engagement of a broad range of voices and perspectives. Our hope is that the plan will serve as a guide and roadmap for the collective efforts of our network in the years to come, both to address challenges and to support opportunities to positively impact the outcomes and quality of life for those living with kidney disease in BC.

Gloria Freeborn Director, Strategic Initiatives, Education and Development, BC Renal I am in awe of the resilience and commitment of the renal network. After reviewing the responses from the survey and witnessing the attendance and enthusiasm at the Strategic Planning Day, I am confident that the BC Renal strategic plan will reflect what those living with kidney disease and the renal community collectively want to focus on in the next several years.
