What’s on offer?

This fun and interactive workshop will use the mediums of films and art to help children and young people learn more about their medical law rights so they leave the workshop feeling more empowered than when they arrived about seeking medical advice and/or treatment in the future. This is a safe space for them to explore and ask questions about their rights as young patients.

No medical experience or pre-existing medical conditions is required to attend the event. This event is designed to empower them for a time when they may seek medical advice from a pharmacist, GP, doctor or other healthcare professional at any time in their life.

What’s it about?
