What we do
The NHS England Young Researchers is made up of 25 amazing young people from all over the country, just like you. It offers a space to share feedback, thoughts and ideas on the changes you want to see within NHS England and the wider health services. As part of the NHS Young Researchers, you could work on different projects closely with NHS staff and decision makers, sharing your views at regular discussions and raising the health issues that matter most to you.
The group also gives you the chance to work with others in a team, stand up for things that are important to you, speak publicly, and build confidence in yourself.
The role is a twelve-month voluntary opportunity which is run online, although there are some in-person residential trips to get involved with too. We know young people have busy lives already, so don’t worry, you only have to commit to a minimum of four hours of work a month.
Regardless of background and lived experience, this role is for any young person between 16-24 years old, who wants to make change.
