About this workshop

Are you passionate about shaping healthcare services truly with children and young people? Join us for an interactive session where we’ll share practical strategies and resources to help you embed children and young people in service planning and improvement.

Discover children’s rights to participate in decisions that affect them—and why this matters for better outcomes. Get hands-on with RCPCH toolkits and resources designed for strategic leaders and clinical teams.
Learn from real-life case studies showing the impact of a rights-based approach on children, young people and hospital services.
Take away practical tools and a clear action plan to use in your own setting.

Hear directly from young people and clinicians about what works. Engage in discussion and Q&A to apply ideas to your context and collect your “golden ticket” for your session toolkit from the RCPCH &Us stand.
