Injured as a result of a cancer misdiagnosis, Ali speaks with firsthand experience about the compounded that results when responses to patient safety incidents are less than ideal. Ali is a former licensed practical nurse and a current PhD student at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus where she explores the contributions that a restorative approach could make to changing the culture of how harm is responded to in the healthcare context. Ali is grateful to reside on the Lands of the Syilx People in Coldstream, B.C.
