NHS England and the British Youth Council are recruiting for the 2nd year of the NHS Youth Forum. They are looking for young people aged 14 - 25, from across England to be part of it.

The group will be made up of 25 young people. Up to 7 will be selected from the outgoing forum (from 2014); 4 will be selected from the NHS regional projects highlighted in a recent grant (these will be directly selected by the projects), 4 will be elected through BYC Conventions across the 4 NHS regions of North, London, Midlands / East of England and South West / South East and 10 places are open to any young people across England who meet the criteria; who essentially have an interest in health.

They are looking for people who are both passionate about youth representation and the improvement of services for all young people, as well as trying to ensure that the group is fully representative of all young people across England.

Open application:
• This is open to any young person, who meets the criteria, living in England
• To apply for one the places the link is below:

If anyone requires help and support please do not hesitate to contact me as it looks like a good opportunity to get a Young Healthwatch Wakefield volunteer involved nationally.
