The foundation of Quality of Care NL is collaboration. No matter who you are, there are opportunities for you to get involved!
Become A Patient Partner
Patient Partners
As part of our patient-centred approach, Quality of Care NL strives to build partnerships between health researchers, health care providers, and people who use the health care system. Patient Partners are volunteers who assist project teams in various phases of projects, from study design to knowledge translation.
Become a Social or Clinical Leader
Social and Clinical Leaders
Quality of Care NL is proud to partner with clinicians, health care providers and social care professionals throughout the province to advance our initiatives.

Become a Choosing Wisely STAR
Choosing Wisely STARS
Choosing Wisely STARS (Students and Trainees Advocating for Resource Stewardship) is a grassroots, student-led campaign in partnership with Choosing Wisely Canada that seeks to change the culture of medical education by addressing the behaviours that can lead to unnecessary care. Our Choosing Wisely NL STARS have helped lead initiatives within various disciplines and units to enhance student awareness and engage practice change in various meaningful ways.
