It's a vulnerable time and will inform their well-being and engagement with healthcare for the rest of their lives.   We’ve worked with **South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw (SYB) Acute Federation** in partnership with **Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Foundation Trust** and **Sheffield Children's Foundation Trust** to bridge that gap and empower staff to provide developmentally appropriate healthcare.   ![nhs-young-people-landing-1](https://desq.co.uk/hubfs/nhs-young-people-landing-1.svg "nhs-young-people-landing-1") **The training is suitable for anyone who works with young people - whether through direct care, supporting them during hospital visits, or helping them plan their appointments.**   Desq and our partners are making this training package available to all healthcare professionals. **View the courses using the links below.** Interested in adding these courses to your LMS or customising them for your region or workplace?
