Collaborating to make the teenage and young adult team more visible
Consultation has concluded
This patient-led project aims to improve access to the TYA team.
We will work with young people through development of a poster, web page and blog series.
This is an opportunity for you to get involved in helping us to increase the visibility of the TYA team and ensure that all teenagers and young adults receiving care at the Royal Marsden are aware of all the opportunities and services they can access.
We want to create an interactive webpage that is both informative and fun to access and we need your help to create this: formatting, testimonials and interviews.
Who can get involved?
