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.
