Youth Council

Who are the Youth Council?

The UH Bristol Foundation Trust Youth Council are a fun, pro-active group aged between 11 and 21 years old. We are all Foundation Trust members and we meet monthly to discuss our ideas and things we would like to change in the Bristol hospitals, which are part of University Hospitals Bristol.

We aim to listen to the young voices of the South West and help to improve the services available for young people.
