Support for young people to become knowledgeable about their healthcare
Support is available for young people in Nottinghamshire to prepare them with the transition to using adult health services.
The Community Children and Young People’s service wants to support young people to enable them to become as knowledgeable as they can about their healthcare.
When you have started secondary school, it is a good time to think about the skills and knowledge you might need around accessing adult health services.
14 years old might seem too early to think about this, but it is important you give yourself time. Parents, carers and other health professionals can still support and help you.
Not everyone will be able to be totally independent and some people might always want or need help. It is still important that you are included in discussions about your health.
