NUH Youth Voice is the Nottingham Children’s Hospital Youth Forum, facilitated by NUH Youth Service.  They currently meet on the last Thursday of the month at 5:30-7:30pm.

NUH Youth Voice is a group of young people living with varying health conditions, who meet regularly to talk about issues that are important to young people who access hospital services.  They are also involved in providing feedback to the hospital regarding issues such as service development and patient information.

Being part of the Youth Forum can enable you to have a voice, make new friends, make a difference to young people’s health and boost your CV with accreditations and experience!

We currently meet in our Youth Room in the hospital on E Floor, in East Bock; but venues may change depending upon the theme of the session.
