We know that our voices are valued, and that people are actually going to listen” : co-producing an evaluation of a young people’s research advisory group

Abstract

Children and young people’s involvement is an increasing priority in healthcare and in heath research, alongside recognition that involving CYP in research requires different considerations to involving adults. Underpinned by children’s rights and a co-production ethos this poster and recorded presentation, from the 2023 Health Services Research UK conference, outlines the learning from a co-produced evaluation of eyeYPAG, a young persons’ research advisory group (YPAG) for eye and vision research based at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London.
