Young people’s health and the quality of their care often depends on whether professionals feel confident navigating communication, trust, development and the transition to adult services. Youth Health Essentials has been designed to make that capability easier to build.
Why this launch matters
AYPH is launching new, bitesized health essentials courses. A modular system of short courses built for the reality of time-poor professionals. Instead of relying only on longer formats, the new offer makes it easier to access short, practical, youth-led learning that fits around busy services and study schedules. This month sees the launch of Youth Health Essentials, with further courses to follow.
What makes the programme different
The difference is not just the topic. It is the lens. AYPH provides evidence, policy awareness and young people’s lived experience in short workhops led by young people, who know first hand what works, so that training is grounded in what young people actually need from services and professionals.
Who it is for
The core programme has broad relevance across sectors, including healthcare, commissioning, public health and education. It also provides a foundation for specialist pathways that are available now.
