Youth Impact Board co-production Group

At Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust we are setting up our Youth Impact Board (YIB) to support our services that work with children and young people that will connect and work directly with our Trust Executive Board. We have worked with a few young people to establish an initial concept for our board, but now we need more voices to feed into this.

If you are aged 16-24 and have a passion for improving services for young people we would love you to become a Youth Impact Board advocate, helping to design how our board will work, the training support programme for board members, the recruitment process and our first projects once established amongst a whole range of other topics.

Young People's Involvement Group

The Young Person’s Involvement Group is an online platform that young people aged 14 years - 18 years can join to share their voices about local Children and Young People’s Health Services. The sessions are online and last up to one hour.
It is an opportunity to share your experiences of Children and Young People’s Health Services and to use your experiences to help us to make services better for young people. You can also help develop new ideas for young people’s health services. This might include helping to create new resources and information (e.g service leaflets or videos) so that they are appealing and useful for young people. We will ask young people to name the group and help to shape the group.
