Patient engagement in healthcare is increasingly discussed in the literature and numerous initiatives engaging patients in quality improvement initiatives, organizational design/governance and research are more common. This engagement from patients raises a number of ethical challenges, which we examine through different types of literature reviews and reflective activities. This project targets both adult and child patients’ involvement.
