One highlight of the latest Spring issue (no 12):

Co-producing the TYA Welcome Tour Video: A Youth-Led Approach to Reducing Treatment Anxiety

Over the past year, the Teenage and Young Adult (TYA) Youth Forum initiated and played a central role in co-producing a new Welcome Tour video designed to support young people preparing for treatment at The Royal Marsden, Sutton hospital. The project brought together Youth Support Coordinators, members of the Youth Forum, professional videographers, and the Royal Marsden NHS media team, with the shared aim of improving accessibility and easing pre-treatment anxieties for young patients.
