Elbury Moor has become the first practice in Worcestershire to take part in an innovative scheme that aims to promote positive and healthy lifestyles for local young people by encouraging them to attend their GP practice. As part of this, young people will work with the surgery and other professionals to offer fresh ideas and training to support surgery staff to meet the needs and expectations of its young patients. This new phase of the YPF compliments national and local government guildlines which recognise that teenagers have very different health needs to younger children and adults and recommends that they should be supported to have a say in the health services that are provided for them as a way of making sure that they meet these needs.
Are you aged 13-19 years old and interested in having your say?
