Help shape the future of children’s healthcare in the East of England!

We are looking for young people aged 14-25 to help us develop our plans for the East of England’s first specialist children’s hospital. When it opens, Cambridge Children’s Hospital will look after patients from Peterborough and Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.

Our Youth Forums are interesting, fun, and insightful, plus a fantastic personal and professional development opportunity. We are keen to hear from all young people, but particularly those with experience of being in hospital for their physical or mental health, or who are interested to pursue a healthcare career.

We need your support to get this hospital right for the families who may one day use it.

Sign up now. We would love to hear from you!
