Are you aged 16-25?

Would you like to make sure the views of you, your friends and your community are represented within Team QEH?

If so, please join the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) Youth Council. You can see some of the first members above. Applications are now open for some more members to join them. To find out more, click Apply in the menu or click here.

Who can join?

We are looking for people who are:

Aged 16 to 25

Live within the catchment of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital

A current or former patient of the hospital AND/OR

Staff or a volunteer at the hospital AND/OR

A member of the community served by the Queen Elizabeth Hospital

You can be a student, carer, or live and work within the area served by the hospital

We welcome everyone – patients, staff and people who live in this area.

The council will be a bridge between the hospital and the 16-25 community in West and North Norfolk, North Cambridgeshire, and South Lincolnshire.

You can share what you hear with the people who shape the hospital so it can have a real impact on the services and care they offer, and make it an even better place for teenage and young adult patients.

You can make sure the people who make decisions about this hospital and the new one scheduled to be built in 2030 will know what you and other people aged 25 and under feel about health services, the hospital and how it could be even better for you, your friends, and the people you spend time with.

It will also give you the chance to find out more about careers in health and care, equip you with skills which will help you when you are working, and the experience will look great on a CV for work or application for college or university.
