Healthwatch Cambridgeshire and Peterborough want to hear from young people between the ages of 16 to 25 years who are interested in and have something to say about health and care services they use in the area– that could be your school nurse, your GP, your local hospital, or any support services you use.
We want to give you a chance to improve these local services by giving you a voice so that you can be part of discussions including recommendations and suggestions around improvements to these services and shaping them to suit your needs now and in the future.
