Young people’s involvement

At Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust, we want to engage with young people and provide opportunities for them to shape and improve services, it is a vital part of ensuring the needs of all service users are met.
By involving young people in decisions about their health and care, we will improve health and wellbeing, improve the quality of care and improve services, which will meet the needs of young people.
Different ways to get involved
Young Dynamos
This group gives young people the opportunity to learn about health research, and get involved in and shape research with children and young people.
You will gain new skills through advising and consulting with NHS staff and researchers from across the Yorkshire and Humber region. We offer lots of opportunities and training for you to get involved in to ensure that the voice of young people is heard in influencing services. It will give you valuable experience for your future career. More importantly, the group is a really positive social space where strong friendships have been built up.
For some of our members with difficulties in health and wellbeing Young Dynamos has become really important in supporting their recovery.
Young Dynamos is for people aged 15 to 25. The group meets once a fortnight during term time on a Thursday, 5.00pm – 7.00pm.
