Partnering with Children, Young People & Families
The involvement of children and families in planning and evaluating health services has benefits to both health services and the users of those services.
A person-centred care approach consider children, young people and their families as true partners in their care, and places individual social, emotional, cultural, mental and physical care needs at the heart of their healthcare journey.
CHA has been facilitating the sharing of innovation highlighting strategies and approaches where partnership with consumers is transforming healthcare.
