Young Health Champions help design GP leaflet for young people

Shropshire Council's public health team have been working with Shropshire's Young Health Champions to produce a young people-friendly leaflet about what to expect when visiting any local GP practice.

The GPs leaflet is aimed at young people from 13 to 20 years old, and aims to provide children and young people with accessible and down-to-earth information on important messages about confidentiality and appointment choices, as well as practical details such as telephone numbers, opening hours and public transport routes.
