As part of the @NHSYouthForum I'm working on improving my local Primary Care Network for young people through engaging them in a variety of ways.
It's so important to listen to young people's needs and making things fit for them to access services they need.

If you work with young people, encourage them to engage in local health services, no matter their background.
From hospital boards, local volunteering opportunities and focus groups.
They have an important voice, please support them to use it! 🗣
