There is increasing interest in young peoples participation in the design and delivery of health services. But young peoples views are not consistently sought or acknowledged, and they are still often marginalised in healthcare encounters. Drawing on original research and a diverse range of practice examples, Brady explores the potential for inclusive and diverse approaches to young peoples participation in health services from the perspectives of young people, health professionals and other practitioners. She presents a practical new framework, embedded in childrens rights, that shows how young peoples participation can be integrated into services in ways that are meaningful, effective and sustainable.
This book explores how young peoples participation can be inclusively and sustainably embedded into health services. Using rich case studies of participation in practice, Brady presents a new evidence-based framework to support policymakers and practitioners to embed young peoples participation more effectively in healthcare practice.
