Young People's Voices Needed for the Tony Hudgell Rehabilitation Project

We are undertaking a project to learn more about the experiences families have of rehabilitation and therapy services. This information we will use to help us make recommendations for improving access to high quality services for children and young people. This project is a collaboration between South Thames Paediatric Network, Evelina London Children’s Healthcare, and the Institute of Women’s and children’s Health (King’s College London).

Are you a young person with complex needs aged 16-24?

Are you a resident of South London, Kent, Surrey or Sussex?

We would like to know about the services you receive from Children’s Therapy and Allied Health Professionals involved in your care.

Your opinion helps us to understand the needs of children and young people, which we will use to identify and address unmet need, and variations in service availability and provision. Everything will be reported anonymously as part of wider piece of work and it will not affect you/your child’s care. If you have any clinical queries about your care, then please contact your therapist / clinical lead / relevant Allied Health Professional. The purpose of the survey is to use the responses to improve paediatric rehabilitation/therapy services.

Disclaimer for parents/carers: If a survey is not an appropriate method for your child, we have other methods of obtaining children's views.

If you feel this is the case, please contact:
