Time sure flies…another year has passed and it’s time to celebrate our 2nd birthday!
The BC PSLS blog has now reached nearly 40,000 visitors, which is three times last year’s numbers…wow! At the top of the list for Canadian visitors are BC, Ontario and Alberta. We’ve also maintained a steady following in other parts of world, particularly in Australia, the UK and the USA. That’s a widespread audience so we’ll keep the momentum going!
We’re also extremely proud that the BC PSLS blog received a Gold award in the 2015 Hermes Creative Awards, an international competition that recognizes organizations for their innovations in traditional and emerging media. Congratulations to the Central Office team.
But the true essence of our blog is YOU – BC’s healthcare providers!
Over the past year we’ve been deeply honored to share what you’re doing to improve patient care in your organizations. Your stories are incredibly diverse, informative, engaging and personal, and each one is helping to spread the word about BC PSLS and patient safety. Thank you for your contributions!
