Get involved

Our young people’s forum meets once a month to discuss their health-related issues and concerns and make recommendations about improvements to local healthcare.

The members of the forum are current or previous patients of Barts and The London Children’s Hospital. The forum gets involved in exciting initiatives such as making changes to the children’s hospital menu.

If your child is aged between 12 and 16 and would like to help shape healthcare for the future, contact Jo Cohen on 020 7377 7034 for more details.

“Being a part of the young people's forum keeps us up-to-date with various issues such as food improvements and the design of the new hospitals. We’re able to swap experiences with other young people and give each other support. This forum is also a good way to find out how a team works together and being part of this group also contributes to my CV for college,” says Zakir Ahmed, member of young people’s forum.
